 | An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. |
 | Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. |
 | Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, But a good word makes it glad. |
| Proverbs 12:25 |
Commentary
God tells us to cast all our cares on Him (1 Pet. 5:7) and not to be anxious (Phil. 4:6). Yet how uplifting it is in the midst of a trial to hear a word of encouragement! Encouragement stirs up, provokes, incites people in a given direction.
