Proverbs 16:23

Proverbs 16:23

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

The connection between heart and speech is direct: wisdom flows from an inward formation and expresses itself through the mouth. The wise person does not just have information to share — their very lips become an ongoing source of growth for those around them. Character shapes communication.

Memory phrase: Wise heart. Wise words.

Talk about it: How does what is in your heart come out through what you say?

Prayer: God, form my heart to shape my words.
