Proverbs - Handling a Matter Wisely




Proverbs 16:20-23

 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good:
and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
 The wise in heart shall be called prudent:
and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it:
but the instruction of fools is folly.
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth,
and addeth learning to his lips.

In order to handle a matter wisely we must trust in the Lord.  If we are depending on ourselves or anyone else, foolish plans could arise and we may very well tear down our own house.  A prudent wife is from the Lord and we will be this kind of woman if we are wise in heart.  This is a heart that treasures God’s view on all matters.  When our hearts are wise, our lips will speak things that instruct and guide.  Our children will be trained and our husbands will be helped.  When we are understanding women, seeking His guidance, we will be that wellspring of life to those who surround us.  If we are angry, stubborn women, we will contribute to others’ demise.  Our hearts must find rest in knowing what God says is wise and then our lips will speak forth wisdom and our homes will be built strong.
