Proverbs - Lips Feed Others






Proverbs 10:21

The lips of the righteous feed many:
but fools die for want of wisdom


                        Words are meant to feed others.  If our lips speak the things that are right according to the Lord, many people will be fed.  With our children we are often speaking to them and training them in the way they should go.  We might see them respond a certain way according to their sinful nature and with the Lord’s command we speak to them what the Lord thinks of that response and which one He would have them reach for.  Ladies, when you and I discipline and train our children with the Word of God as the guide, we will be speaking righteous things.  They will be fed, their children will be fed and many that you may never know will be fed.  We must not train our children according to what pleases us, but that which pleases the Lord.  Otherwise, our lips may, in fact, sap energy away from many rather than feed them.  Jesus said, “Feed my sheep”. (John 21:16).  May our lips speak His Words, His standards and His ways, so that we may truly be able to do this.
