Proverb 12

Daily Devotional from Proverb 12—

Verse 25
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

You never know when someone is dealing with anxiety, fear, sorrow, or depression. Proverbs 18:21 says “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” You have the power to speak LIFE into another person’s being!

You also have the power to speak life into your own. I love how David recognized his feelings and then spoke life to himself, in Psalm 42: “Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”

You have the power to speak life to others, and to yourself. How? Simple encouragement. Share what spoke to you from the Word recently, or what you appreciate about someone. Recall the good things God has done in your life, and choose to focus there. A good word makes you and others GLAD.
