Build Your Bible Habit-Proverbs Chapter 15

Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit! This week, Proverbs 15 opens the chapter with a lesson on the "soft answer." We need this lesson. When people speak to us harshly, it's human nature to want to respond the same way. Our carnal nature is not interested in godliness. It is human to have a classic case of "how dare they speak to me like that."
When we tell someone off and imagine that it will settle things, instead this wrong move heats up the conversation until both sides are angry. God wants to help us fix this tendency. The solution? Learn the art of the soft answer. Godliness is rewarding to the soul, building humility and temperance.
Here's a great verse for the week:
"A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger." (Proverbs 15:1)
Those sharp words you were tempted to use? Soften them.
