Morning Manna (@MorningManna)

Date: Mar. 5, 2026. Lesson 44-2026. Title: Guarded Lips and the Pride That Breeds Contempt Words carry power. A single sentence can heal a wounded heart—or ignite a conflict that lingers long after the moment has passed. Scripture teaches that the one who guards his mouth preserves his soul from trouble. Discipline in speech is not merely about manners; it is about protecting the heart and maintaining peace. Proverbs 21:23–24 draws a sharp contrast between humility and arrogance. The person who carefully measures his words builds stability and preserves relationships, while the proud and scornful allow reckless speech to flow from a heart lifted up in self-importance. Pride does not merely think highly of itself—it breeds contempt, dismissing others and stirring unnecessary strife. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore why restrained speech reflects wisdom, how pride fuels conflict and contempt, and why humility and thoughtful words safeguard both the soul and the relationships God places in our lives. When our hearts are aligned with the Lord, our words become instruments of peace rather than weapons of destruction. Join us as we reflect on the wisdom of guarded lips and the freedom that comes when humility governs our speech. mannanation.com/video-article/date-mar-5-2026… #MorningManna #Proverbs #Wisdom #Speech #Words #Humility #Pride #Discipline #Peace #Character #Faith #Scripture #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #RickWiles
