The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.  Proverbs 10.11

Those who study the Word of God guard their mouths so as not to give in to the devil’s will: to commit crime. But we need to do more than that, by guarding the revelation of the Scriptures. This way, we will prove that we love the Lord and thus be blessed by Him. That is our greatest desire! By hearing the Creator speak what is written in the Bible, we will see His grace at work on our behalf and we will be satisfied!

The world needs to see Christ in us, and this will happen when we are well in His presence, without feeling unworthy, ready to tell everyone about Him. Some people refuse this mission, claiming that they can’t afford to help those in need. Now, that’s a lie, because if we decide to believe in Jesus, we will go out into the world to proclaim His love when He has suffered our afflictions. Then our mouth will be a spring of life!

We must be intrepid and do God’s will when we are proclaiming the Good News, because the Holy Spirit will speak for us (Mark 13.11). The only requirement on this occasion is to be righteous, so that our mouth is a source of life. At that moment, we can give a great sermon using one verse, and all by divine inspiration. God is good!

We need to teach our brothers and sisters to practice justice on an ongoing basis. This way, the world will have at its disposal a various arsenal of spiritual weapons, which are the revelations made about us. It is good to be attentive to the Omnipotent One, because He ensures that we are lifted up and strengthened to win the battles that seem invincible. He is the Lord and will assist us every time we need inspiration to support someone.

Before making any decision, look for someone who is known for truly practicing faith in Christ and guiding others through their difficulties. Ask them for help in understanding Heaven’s will. You will soon see that, because they are righteous, they have the Lord’s assistance in times of need. Some of God’s servants live in communion with Him. But beware! There are those who can’t solve their own problems, but try to solve those of others.

Let’s talk about the wicked, whose mouths are full of violence, insults that destroy lives and so many other negative things. They are no good at giving advice, because they will never give good counsels. Unfortunately, many will be lost for not turning to the Gospel. It’s impossible to draw sweet water from a bitter fountain. So, try to get right in your faith in Christ by being righteous. That way, you’ll be a blessing for many people to find God!

To help an ungodly person, you need to be righteous and, preferably, bear witness to God in your life, as He answers your prayers. The Lord loves everyone, so always intercede for those who have fallen into ungodliness. This attitude can bring the person who has fallen away back to faith in Jesus. Be a fountain of life for everyone!

In Christ, with love,
