From the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach is satisfied; he is satisfied by the yield of his lips. Proverbs 18:20 ESV
Lord,
Junk food is so tempting, like speaking bad news rather than good. Help us see the difference. Call our attention to it. Remind us before we partake.
Eating healthy food day after day will keep us going strong, as will beneficial words. Help us walk out this promise for a full and satisfying life.
Jesus is our best example of speaking the truth with hope.
News and social media shout negative stories, let us not be merely repeaters. Educated, yes. But help our thoughts dwell on higher things.
Anxious views can come … and go. We offer these worries to you … in exchange for your promised peace. (John 14:27)
Amen
Question
How do you fill yourself with good fruit from your mouth? Honestly, I choose to not talk at times. How ’bout you?
Until next week, keep Walking on Mustard Seeds!

Like the verse from Scripture that I include in my emails and newsletter, from Ephesians 4:29, that says, “Do not let unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up.”
It’s a good reminder to me to love my neighbor as myself.
I love the tie in to your signature verse. How gracious God is to sprinkle his reminders for our word choices throughout the Bible. Thank you for stopping by!
