As for Me and My House
Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness.
Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.

God’s Wonderful Works
The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.
You bring darkness, it becomes night,
and all the beasts of the forest prowl.
The lions roar for their prey
and seek their food from God.
The sun rises, and they steal away;
they return and lie down in their dens.
Then man goes out to his work,
to his labor until evening.
Loose Cannon
The tongue holds the power to promote life into the lives of those around you or it can be a loose cannon firing off and producing countless casualties. Do you want to be responsible for promoting life in people this week or aiming carelessly with loose cannons from your mouth? We need to learn how to take better responsibility for the words that proceed from our mouths. May we find wisdom in the Proverbs and let the words transform our hearts. I pray our understanding may change, so that we can be conformed into God’s likeness alone.
Solomon mentioned the tongue many times in the Proverbs because he knew of its power and warned us of the danger we would face when opening our mouths. It’s time to heed the principles we see in Proverbs and let the Scripture transform our lives so we will not let loose cannons fly out and harm those we care about. Here are some of Solomon’s words and ways to apply them in our daily lives:
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. (Proverbs 10:19)
