Proverbs 13:3
What kind of power does it take to stop a war? After Absalom’s rebellion, Israel is fragile, and Sheba seizes the moment to divide the kingdom again. It could’ve ended in more bloodshed—another battle, another loss. But in a surprising twist, it’s not a general or a king who saves the day. It’s a wise, unnamed woman whose calm words prevent disaster. She sees the cost of chaos and speaks with courage, not noise. In a world full of shouting, true wisdom often goes unnoticed. We chase influence, quick answers, loud opinions. But Proverbs reminds us: “The one who guards his mouth preserves his life.” This woman guarded not just her words, but her people. Today, God still uses quiet strength. He honors those who build peace over those who demand control. We don’t need titles to make a difference—just courage, humility, and a willingness to be wise when it matters most.
