1 Minute Devotional from Mike Fabarez

Guest (Male): It’s time to power up your day with a one-minute Focal Point from Pastor Mike Fabarez.

Mike Fabarez: When reading through the Proverbs, you might notice a recurring theme related to our words. It’s that chronic tendency just to say too much. There are over 170 inspired proverbs that seek to impress on our hearts that it’s the fool who just keeps on babbling with their mouth, and it’s the wise who restrains their tongues.

So, just say less and you’ll sin less, right? That sounds simple, but it’s not that easy. There are so many things, like gossip, that the Proverbs say are like delicious morsels. We love to hear them. We find some kind of malicious pleasure in feeding them into our ears.

Well, we need to check our hearts today and remember that the Bible says, “Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life, but the one who opens wide his mouth comes to ruin.” Keep a check on your words today.
