Today’s Scripture

“It’s horrible to persecute a holy lover of God or to strike an honorable man for his integrity! Can you bridle your tongue when your heart is under pressure? That’s how you show that you are wise. An understanding heart keeps you cool, calm, and collected, no matter what you’re facing. When even a fool bites his tongue he’s considered wise. So shut your mouth when you are provoked—it will make you look smart.”

Proverbs 17:26-28

Today’s Thought

When you are under pressure can you watch your words and bridle your tongue? The man of understanding keeps his body under control no matter what the pressure!

Today’s Confession

Father, teach me to stay cool, calm, and wise under pressure. Help me bridle my tongue when my emotions run high, and give me a heart of understanding that reflects Your wisdom.
