Season 1 Episode 167
Somebody's Watching Me
3
The Lord is watching everywhere,
keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.
4
Gentle words are a tree of life;
a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
Verse 3
God knows everything (1 John 3:21). He knows what the result of our actions will be. He watches good people so that he can protect them. He watches evil people so that he can punish their evil actions.
Verse 4
Our words can comfort other people. Words can help people, and they can encourage people.
Lies never achieve these good things. Lies hurt other people. Lies upset people and cause great problems.
The first proverb assures us that God takes note of all our actions, whether good or bad. We don’t need to tell on someone who did something wrong because God already knows.
Verse 4 tells us that a soft answer can turn away anger, and a gentle tongue is like a tree of life. When tempted to argue with someone over their political views, consider whether your words will bring life or strife.
Let me ask you: Is God more concerned with you winning a political argument, or with your words bringing life and not strife?
