The Wisdom of Silence

Greetings to all. As we begin this week, let us be mindful of our words and ensure that we do not speak when we are not required to give an answer.

There is a saying that silence is golden. However, in life, we are required to communicate. Presenting ourselves as wise and understanding can be challenging when we fail to exercise discernment and use measured words.  It is important that we know when to speak and when not to. We should not allow our emotions to take over.

Proverbs 17:27 (NKJV)

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

Lesson: God desires that we do not get drawn into heated or foolish communication. However, He does desire that we know and understand the power of our words.
