Virtuous Speech
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
- Proverbs 10:20
A tongue guided and controlled by righteousness is as valuable as the finest silver. Sooner or later, what you have stored in your heart will come out through your mouth.
A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
- Luke 6:45
Therefore, if you want to have a tongue of great value, righteous and uplifting, you must be filled with the Holy Spirit and with the Lord’s love. Decide today to please God with what you allow into your heart. Fill your mind with the Word of God and allow the Holy Spirit to transform you more into the image of Jesus. In this way, your words will be words of encouragement and blessing to others.
The soothing tongue is a tree of life,
but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
- Proverbs 15:4
Spread words today that build up and support others. Speak words of peace, contribute to making this world better by sharing encouragement and wisdom that bring joy and blessing to others. Make it your goal that your tongue may shine like refined silver for the glory of the Lord.

The joy of forgiveness
In some translations, Psalm 32 is titled “The Joy of Forgiveness.” From the very beginning of the psalm, we can sense the immense joy of the psalmist David upon knowing he is forgiven.
Blessed is the one
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit.
- Psalm 32:1-2
The one who has received forgiveness for their sins is blessed, happy, and free. Released from the burden of guilt and shame, those who receive God’s forgiveness can continue their journey with hearts full of joy and gratitude.
How do we receive God’s forgiveness? The same psalm gives us the key. Verses 3 to 5 speak about the importance of repentance and confession. Once we acknowledge our sin before God and repent, He comes to our rescue, forgiving us and filling our hearts with joy.
Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
the guilt of my sin.Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.
You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
- Psalm 32:5-7
God never rejects a repentant heart. Is there a sin weighing on your heart? Bring it before the Lord, confess it with repentance, and receive His liberating forgiveness. God is love, He forgives, and He wants to fill your heart with the joy of His forgiveness. Go to Him today and live each day happy, blessed, and free.

Day Before Yesterday's Word
God loves you: don't give up, even if things get tough!
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
The verse from John 16:33 brings words of comfort and hope from Jesus Christ Himself to His disciples and all of us. It reminds us of two fundamental truths of the Christian life:
- The first is the promise of peace that Jesus offers us. During the tribulations of the world, where conflicts, worries, and uncertainties are unavoidable, Jesus assures us that we can find peace in Him. This peace is not simply the absence of problems but the presence of God in our lives, regardless of the circumstances. It is a gift we receive through faith in Christ, which sustains and comforts us in difficult times.
- The second truth is Jesus' victory over the world. He encourages us to take heart, even when troubles surround us. Christ's victory over the world means that ultimately, He has triumphed over sin and death, offering us the opportunity for eternal life with God. Therefore, no matter how intense the adversities we face here on Earth, we know that in Christ, we already have victory assured.
This verse invites us to trust in God, find comfort in His presence, and face life's challenges with courage and hope. By fixing our eyes on Jesus and His victory over the world, we can experience true peace, even in troubles, and be strengthened to live a life of faith, hope, and love.
Don't give up on following Jesus!
