“The Lord is watching everywhere, keeping His eye on both the evil and the good. ‭‭The king is pleased with words from righteous lips; he loves those who speak honestly. The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive. Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. From a wise mind comes wise speech; the words of the wise are persuasive. Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful.” {Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬; ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬, 21‭‭, 24, 23, 20}

The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop....

“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. ‭‭He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
