Getting a Good Heart [Family Worship lesson in Proverbs 16:16–19]

What are the prerequisites for godly speech? Proverbs 16:16–19 looks forward to the midweek sermon. In these four verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that wisdom, uprightness, and humility are the prerequisites for godly speech.

The devotional emphasizes that godly, beneficial speech stems from a heart cultivated through wisdom, uprightness, and humility, rather than material wealth or association with the proud. Drawing from Proverbs 16, the message clarifies that true wisdom and understanding, gained through fellowship with God, are far more valuable than gold or silver, while departing from evil requires a steadfast commitment to righteousness and a humble spirit content in God's provision. Ultimately, the speaker underscores that conforming to the example of Christ—who embodies wisdom, righteousness, and humility—is the path to cultivating a heart that overflows with good and godly speech.(click here to DOWNLOAD mp3/pdf files of this lesson)
