Devotions for Dads! – Proverbs 10:14

“The wise lay up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool brings ruin near.” Proverbs 10:14

Listen here, if you prefer.

Knowledge for the future, to learn and avoid past problems. If history repeats itself perhaps we should store away the knowledge of today so that we can be wise tomorrow. Then perhaps, we should be slow to speak of things we haven’t experienced as to flee the destruction of an uncontrolled and ignorant mouth.

Lord, work this out. I can’t see the answers, and I have no precedent in my life to give me wisdom. I need You, Your strength, and Your grace. Whether this circumstance is right or wrong, help me to rely on You in this situation and to forgive where it is necessary. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
