Transcript

Scripture: Proverbs 25-26

SHOW NOTES:

The book of Proverbs provides insight and guidance for relationships, including how to interact with kings, neighbors, enemies, fools, and sluggards.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver. Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to a listening ear.
- Proverbs 25:11-12

Our words can encourage and bless others, so it's essential to choose them carefully. We should avoid boasting about things we won't follow through on, and when we need to correct or admonish someone, it's vital to do so kindly. Our words have the potential to be as precious as gold apples and beautiful ornaments, providing support and comfort to the souls of those around us.

A fool is a person who acts unwisely and lacks judgment or sense. Be cautious when using the word or referring to someone as a "fool." Do not argue with a fool but rather refute the fool.

Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
- Proverbs 26:1

Who do we honor? Those who are worthy of recognition. Fools do not deserve to be honored. They consistently make poor choices and bad decisions—over and over—and do not learn from mistakes.
