Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent
Verse of the day: "Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue" 17:28 It is so difficult to keep silent when it comes to defending ourselves- right? Wrong! Normally we talk defending ourselves to prove our point and that we are reasonable. But interestingly the Scripture says the opposite. We will be considered wise if we keep silent. When someone doesn't talk much it is difficult to find out what really goes on in their mind and they have time to contemplate their thoughts and rephrase it if needed. How nice?! On the other hand if we are quick to say something it is hard to undo the damage. I am so glad to find such practical wisdom stressed in the Scriptures. Let us pray for a discerning tongue. Definitely this is one area I am truly trying to improve. Happy Tuesday! Coffee with Jesus
