3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 26:28; Psalm 125; Revelation 19–20

________________________________________

“A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.” — Proverbs 26:28

“Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.” — Psalm 125:1

“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True...” — Revelation 19:11

________________________________________

Words are powerful. You’ve probably heard that before—maybe when someone reminded you to think before you speak, or after you said something you wish you could take back. In Proverbs 26:28, we’re warned about two misuses of words: lies and fake flattery. Both can hurt people, even if they sound nice on the surface. But Psalm 125 gives us a picture of the kind of life we can have when we trust God—steady, unshakable, like a mountain.

And in Revelation 19, we’re reminded that Jesus is called “Faithful and True.” His words are never fake, and He always keeps His promises.

So how do we live like that? How do we move from wounding words to words that reflect faithfulness and truth?

THINK ABOUT IT

1. What’s behind your words? Are you saying things just to be liked, to fit in, or to control a situation? Lies and insincere compliments can seem harmless but end up hurting others and damaging trust. God calls us to speak truth with love.

2. Unshakable trust: Psalm 125 says those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion—immovable. When you base your life on God’s truth, you don’t have to play games with your words. You can be real, honest, and strong, even when it's hard.

3. Look to Jesus: Jesus is called “Faithful and True” for a reason. He always speaks truth—even when it’s tough—and always in love. When you’re unsure how to respond to a situation, ask yourself: “What would Jesus say?” Not just in tone, but in truth and love.

BOTTOM LINE

Your words have the power to hurt or to heal. Be someone who speaks like Jesus—faithfully, truthfully, and with love.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, Help me use my words to build others up and not tear them down. Teach me to be honest, kind, and full of truth like Jesus. When I feel pressure to lie or pretend, remind me of Your strength and the security I have in You. Make me steady like Mount Zion and help me speak life in every situation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
