Proverbs 10:13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
We see here that the wisdom that has been learned gives us understanding to say the right things at the time. For those that are void of understanding because of a lack of wisdom needs to be corrected and as we will see later in proverbs the use of a rod for correction is used. Verse 14 says that a wise man soaks up all the knowledge he can, this will help him to obey the leadership of God. A foolish person however loves to run his mouth about things he knows nothing about which will lead to his destruction. These two verses help to see a difference between saying the right things and the wrong things and what consequences of what we say can cause. In James 3:10 it says ” Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.” I would like everyone today to find a good church to go to that teaches the wisdom and and knowledge of God and we welcome you at Luverne First Assembly 788 Glenwood Road.
