Arresting the Arrogant

Read:  Psalm 119 / Proverbs 15 / Numbers 5 / Titus 1

Psalm 119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
Proverbs 15:28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
Numbers 5:23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water.
Titus 1:10-11 There are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers... whose mouths must be stopped. 

We need good judgment in our speech
That we may answer and arrest
The arrogant who blindly teach
The falsehood that they have confessed. 

As truth arrests the mouth of pride,
God satisfies the longing thirst
For mercy through our Lord who died
To save and bless those who were cursed.
