Speak Life
July 2nd, 2025
Proverbs 15:1-8.
Proverbs 15:1-8 once again contrasts the ways that our words can either damage relationships or build them up. While we often are quick to remember the words that have wounded us and the times our words have hurt others, when have someone’s words brought hope or healing to you?
Verse 4 reminds us that “the soothing tongue is a tree of life”. This means that our words can bring healing and life to others, too. Maybe you remember a word of encouragement someone gave you during a difficult time, or a word of celebration; maybe it was a word of comfort when the world felt anxious and frightening. These words of life built you up, and renewed your strength when you needed it.
We all have the power to speak healing and life into others as well. Are there people who need a word of encouragement? Are there people who need a word of celebration, of comfort, or of presence?
You have the power to speak those soothing words into their lives, just as others have done for you.
