Day 296 Broken Bones | Proverbs 25:14-16

Send us Fan MailBroken Bones 14 A person who promises a gift but doesn’t give it     is like clouds and wind that bring no rain.15 Patience can persuade a prince,     and soft speech can break bones.16 Do you like honey?     Don’t eat too much, or it will make you sick!In Verse 14, people in hot, dry lands know the disappointment of seeing clouds but not getting any rain. It's the same kind of disappointment when someone promises something but doesn’t follow through. Children especially get excited about gifts and feel extra let down when they don’t receive them.Verse 15 tells us that confronting someone angrily isn’t the best way to change their mind. Wise, thoughtful words are more likely to have a positive outcome.Verse 16 encourages moderation. Can you have too much of a good thing? Absolutely. Too much honey can make you sick. Too much attention can make someone feel smothered. Too much power can make you lose sight of others’ needs.Think about this: When you make promises to children, do you always follow through? To God, promises made to children are just as important as promises made to adults.If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth.
