A Godly Mouth

Proverbs 31:26
She openeth her mouth with wisdom;
and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

More on this godly woman's character ...
the virtuous woman knows how to use (or not use) her words.

Wisdom:
This woman knows the right thing to say.
She knows Wisdom (Christ).
She is thoughtful, careful, and helpful in her speech.
I am often at a loss to help a friend ...
...I fear it is because I do not always have the wisdom of God.
This only comes through dedicated, careful time with Him.

Kindness:
This woman is not a gossip, a back biter, a slanderer.
She uses her tongue to build rather than to tear down.

You will probably be tested in the next few busy days?
Maybe you are being tested right now?
Perhaps in your home, with the children, the relatives, your spouse?
Perhaps at church?
Perhaps even online?
Will your speech put you in a class with the virtuous woman?
