When to speak.



The bible is so awesome. Very little did God not include in His Word to guide our lives. He loves us that much! Here is one teaching that is very helpful for all of us:

Proverbs 17:27-28 

27 He who has knowledge spares his words,
And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.

28 Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace;
When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.

Much talk can create problems, for the one who talks much often makes claims that can create difficulties. If we take Jesus for example He usually spoke only when needed and what the Father gave Him to say. Even when He had the opportunity to defend himself before the being led away to death, He said very little.

So let us heed the Word of God and use our words carefully and in a way that will be pleasing to the Lord!
