Proverbs 10:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
but the prudent hold their tongues.
but the prudent hold their tongues.
We are constantly filling our world with noise. If it is not
the sound of our own voices, then turn up some other noise to fill the silence.
With the proliferation of radio talk shows, we are even given the opportunity
to sound off to that noise. Unfortunately, quite often we say things that are
harmful, hurtful, or foolish. God's wisdom reminds us to learn to hold our
tongue and let silence rule over more of our time rather than the noisy words
that so often clutter our world.
Thought for today:
Am I constantly talking or making noise to escape my own thoughts? Do I realize
the more I talk the more apt I am to offend?
