11/02/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Wholesome tongue.

 Text: ```Proverbs 15:4‭-‬6 KJV A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: But perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. A fool despiseth his father's instruction: But he that regardeth reproof is prudent. In the house of the righteous is much treasure: But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.```
 
COMMENTARY
The word, “wholesome” is a Hebrew word, “marpe,” which means healing and health. A “wholesome” tongue, therefore, is a tongue that's curative, a fountain of life, because it's filled with the Word of God. Tongue is the most powerful tool in the body. It can achieve incredible and unbelievable results. With tongue a life is corrected and by tongue a life is also condemned.

Good persuasive speech in form of prayers, advocacy and proposals are presented using tongue. But a foolish person employs his tongue to the damaging of the Soul and the Spirit.  NLT Bible put it this way: _Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. Proverbs 15:4 NLT_

What does it mean for a Spirit to be crushed? It means a sense of holding back or being unable to relax in certain situations that remind you of the painful incident from the past. A deadening of your spirit, such that you sometimes can't feel joy. A popular adage says: "tongue cut deeper than sword" another one says: "tongue inflict graver wounds than the sword." Bad memories a careless tongue produces last longer and breeds enmity that transcend to generations.

Food for thought: The wellness of tongue is used is dependent on the level of wisdom or foolishness.

Prayer: ``Lord create in me a clean heart, a spirit that crave for knowledge and wisdom in Jesus name.```
