Sherri Seligson joins Yvette Hampton to talk about the power of words.
Our world is filled with words. Whether we are reading them, writing them, or instructing with them, they are our tools to build stories, create emotions, and make connections. Yet we need to be aware that words have the power to build up others as well as to tear them down, especially when we speak them to our children. That means words can cause our children to stumble or they can encourage them to soar! God has much to say about our words. They need to be crafted carefully and gently but firmly shared. This is how we can engage others and train up our children. Let’s contemplate not only the power of our words, but how we can boldly use them.

Proverbs 18:1 - “A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment.”

Final Encouragement:
DON’T GIVE UP! ~ The grass is always greener when you water it.
HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE WHO ENCOURAGE YOU IN YOUR MARRIAGE...not bring you down. Don't gossip about your husband.
SHOW HIM APPRECIATION AND RESPECT - MAKE HIM A PRIORITY
 
Titus 2:3-5 ESV
"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled."

Proverbs 14:26 - “In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge.”
Proverbs 31:30 - “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.” 
#2. A WISE WIFE CHOOSES HUMILITY
Proverbs 28:25 NKJV - “He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered.
Proverbs 28:26 - “He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered.”
Proverbs 26:11-12 - “As a dog returns to his own vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.”
Proverbs 28:13 - “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.”
#3. A WISE WIFE CONTROLS HER WORDS:
Proverbs 17:27 NKJV - “He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.”
Proverbs 29:11 - “A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man holds them back.”

{Kind words}

Thought-out and studied words
Proverbs 15:28 NKJV - “The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.”
Listening well
Proverbs 18:13 NKJV - “He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him.”
#4. A WISE WIFE SEEKS ACCOUNTABILITY
Proverbs 13:20 NKJV - “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.”
Proverbs 18:1 - “A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment.”
Proverbs 15:31 - “The ear that hears the rebukes of life will abide among the wise. He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, but he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.”
Proverbs 12 - “Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.”

Final Encouragement:
DON’T GIVE UP! ~ The grass is always greener when you water it.
HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE WHO ENCOURAGE YOU IN YOUR MARRIAGE...not bring you down. Don't gossip about your husband.
SHOW HIM APPRECIATION AND RESPECT - MAKE HIM A PRIORITY
 
Titus 2:3-5 ESV
"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled."
