Proverbs 10:20
The tongue
of the just is as choice silver:
the heart of the wicked is little worth.
Our words have value. The value
comes from the source of our words - the heart. Here we see that if we have a just and
righteous heart our words will be like silver and will feed people. A just heart wants to do what is right. A just heart is not out to prove itself right
but to discover and do that which is right.
A righteous heart is a heart that is in right standing with God. A righteous heart is covered by the blood of
Christ. A righteous heart is concerned
with pleasing the Lord. When our hearts
are in this position our lips will speak words that reflect the beauty of our
Lord just as choice silver reflects the image of the one looking into it. When our hearts are in this position we will
speak words that people who hunger for encouragement, hope and forgiveness will
feed on. If our words are lacking we
must start with the cry, “Lord give me a just and righteous heart”.
