The Compass of Discretion: The Filter Between Mind and Mouth

Day 5 · December · Proverbs 5.2

Today's Verse

"Learn to be careful and to say smart things."

Proverbs 5.2 · NIV

The Story

Have you ever watched a goalkeeper defending the goal? He doesn't let the ball in just any old way.

Our mouth needs a goalkeeper too! His name is Discretion. Sometimes we feel like saying something mean, or a lie, or talking back to mom. If there's no goalkeeper, the "wrong ball" gets out of the mouth and scores an own goal (causes trouble).

Today's proverb says: "Be careful." Put a goalkeeper in your mouth to only let out words that are good, smart, and true.

Today's Challenge

Mouth Goalkeeper!

Today, play "Mouth Goalkeeper." Before saying something when you're upset, think: "Is this word good or bad?" If it's bad, defend it! Don't let it out.

Whoever completes it becomes the Guardian of Wisdom for day 5!
