Devotional Reflection
DoubtShame
Want to know what makes a good person different from a bad one? Simple, look at what they've done with their lives. Speech is one of the most obvious ways that a person's actions bear fruit. The righteous person knows how to speak in a way that gives life. What a bad person says will almost always reveal what kind of person they are.
Prayer
May the words that come out of my mouth and the thoughts that go through my mind please You, O God, my Father, Redeemer, and LORD. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
