Let my words be few
Proverbs 17:27
He that has wisdom spares his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
Has your mouth ever gotten you into trouble? I know mine has - and the trouble with the mouth - is it can speak both praises to GOD and curses to man - it's tough to tame the tongue - matter of fact - God's Word says that no one but GOD can do it!
We must let our words be few - in prayer GOD says not to use vain repetitions thinking that would make HIM hear us better - Proverbs says that a man who has wisdom will spare his words - another words - he won't run off at the mouth but will think before he speaks - we must place whatever we say before the LORD - we must be careful what we say and how we say it - what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart -- this is true - just try this some day - try not to say anything negative - it will be hard if you are used to saying negative things - it almost because natural or second nature - often we don't even realize what we say or how it effects others - we need to watch our mouths!
God has given us two ears and one mouth for a reason - we should listen twice as much as we speak - often in conversation we are so concerned with saying what we want to say - we don't even hear the other person - how selfish we can be - but if we would allow GOD to change our hearts - our speech would improve - in our own power it's hopeless - let's be slow to speak and quick to listen - let's do what GOD says -
Let our words be few - we don't have to speak much to show our love for GOD - we just need to follow Him - let our actions speak!
Word to the wise: What we say says a lot about who we are!
