“When a good man speaks he is worth listening to, but the words of fools are a dime a dozen.” Proverbs 10:20 (The Living Bible)
A good man has character to back up what he is saying. His words line up with his life and people listen to that. The words of a fool may be flattering and nice, but in the end people pay little attention because they are just empty words.
Dear Lord….make me a good person, with character and a life to back the meaning of the words I speak…Amen and Amen!!
