Day 9 - Overlook Insults

• Proverbs 12:16 (NIV)
• Proverbs 12:18 (NIV)
• Ecclesiastes 6:8 (NIV)

---

Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult. The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. (Proverbs 12:16, 18 TNIV)

Learning to overlook insults is hard. When you do, the reward is great!

Your words can either have a positive impact on the world or a negative impact. What kind of impact do your words have on the world?

What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others? (Ecclesiastes 6:8 TNIV)
