Proverbs 8
Could you imagine someone talking about you and when they did they said, "all the words of his/her mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse"? Jesus once said that from the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. So to get to the point where our words are just we have dig deeper into our heart and v.13 connects our heart to our words - they will be just if we "fear the LORD" and "heat evil". How about you? How are your words? Are your words just? Do you hate evil?

My words are just for the most part. I don't cuss or anything but my tone is sometimes mean. I hate evil and I hate when people do or say mean things to others. That really bothers me.
Wisdom and knowledge is very important in our lives. It helps us make smart decisions in tough situations and helps us stay away from the temptations of the world. Wisdom will give you many rewards that are way better than money and gold. If we listen to gods wisdom we will find life and be blessed by him for eternity.
bayley - my parents always used to get on me about my tone. they would say, "it's not what you're saying, but HOW you're saying it!" I guess they were biblical with me...it was hard for me to learn or even to care about...

Ha. To be as honest as I can be, my words are USUALLY just. I admit I dont always talk nice about someone, but for the most part it is. Talking about someone bhind their back, gossip, judging people and telling others, and cursing are some of the biggest things I struggle with. I admit that I'm a hypocrite when it comes to this--I hate it when others talk poorly about others and yet I do the same thing. This is one of those problems I always work on and ask God for help about. I pray that all the words coming out of my mouth from my heart are of love and appreciation for others. And its working!
my words, they could use some work. i don't swear or anything, but gossip is so hard for me. i don't tell promises or anything like that, and if someone tells me not to tell i don't, but if they don't mention that, you can bet i am telling my best friends the very next time i see them. its something i struggle with and really need to work on. lady wisdom wouldn't gossip, and we are suppose to be wise and think wise, so why should i.
