Words of praise....

Words of praise...

I am reading through the Scriptures chronologically...so back and forth from history to songs, prophets...to fit the times together ...

In the past when I have read through the Bible, I have read straight through from front to back...so this is fun and enlightening to see how it fits together ...
But, no matter how I do it, God speaks...words of praise, admonishment, teaching...words I need to heed...use in speaking to others as well as praise for what He has done...

Thank YOU...

Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. PSALM 141: 3 NKJV

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips [to keep me from speaking thoughtlessly].
Let the righteous [thoughtfully] strike (correct) me—it is a kindness [done to encourage my spiritual maturity]. It is [the choicest anointing] oil on the head; Let my head not refuse [to accept and acknowledge and learn from] it; For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.
Psalm 141:3,5

The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction. The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction.
Proverbs 16:21,23

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. PROVERBS 16: 24

Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips.
