Day 156 - A Gentle Answer

Daily Reading:  Proverbs 15-18

A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1

Footnote:

Have you ever tried to argue in a whisper?  It is equally hard to argue with someone who insists on answering gently.  On the other hand, a rising voice and harsh words almost always trigger an angry response.  To turn away wrath and seek peace, choose gentle words.


The discerning heart seeks knowledge,
but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
Proverbs 15:14

Footnote:

What we feed our minds is just as important as what we feed our bodies.  The kinds of books we read, the people we talk with, the music we listen to, and the films we watch are all part of our mental diet.  Be discerning because what you feed your mind influences your total health and well-being.  Thus, a strong desire to discover knowledge is a mark of wisdom.
