"She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness" (Prov 31:26).
In Proverbs chapter 31 we are given a description of a virtuous woman. Among the many qualities that she possesses it is written that, "She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness." She doesn't just speak her mind. Before she opens her mouth she thinks and prays about what she's going to say. She ask, "How would Jesus want me to respond?" When she opens her mouth wisdom comes out because wisdom is already in her heart. Also, it is said that "in her tongue is the law of kindness." In others words kindness characterizes her speech. James writes, "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain" (James 1:26).
One of the best ways to measure the purity of your christianity is by what comes out of your mouth. What's been coming out of your mouth lately?
