In today’s episode of the My Morning Devotional Podcast, Lauren Burgos reflects on Proverbs 31:26 and the incredible power our words have to either build up or tear down.
“She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.”
As Lauren enters a new season of marriage, she shares how this verse has challenged her to think differently about communication—not only in marriage, but in friendships, family relationships, and everyday conversations.
Because wisdom isn't just about what we say.
It's about how we say it.
This devotional explores the difference between:
Honesty and harshness
Confidence and pride
Correction and condemnation
Careless words and words that bring life
Our words shape the atmosphere around us. They influence our homes, our relationships, and the people God has entrusted to us.
And while none of us speak perfectly, Scripture calls us to speak with wisdom and grace.
Lauren also shares how emotions, stress, and life's changing seasons can sometimes make it difficult to guard our words. But regardless of our feelings, we are called to surrender our thoughts and speech to God and allow Him to shape our hearts.
This episode is a reminder that wisdom isn't just demonstrated through knowledge—it's revealed in the way we communicate.
Before we speak, perhaps we should ask:
Am I building up or tearing down?
Are my words bringing healing or hurt?
Am I speaking with wisdom or simply reacting?
Because faithful instruction, gentle correction, and words full of grace have the power to strengthen marriages, deepen friendships, and transform relationships.
May our words reflect the wisdom and kindness of Christ, and may those around us experience His love through the way we speak.
Tune in and let's embrace the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives!
