Grace for your spirit. September 5, 2012

Grace for your spirit
When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise. Proverbs 10:19

Ever hear the expression, "we gave him just enough rope to hang himself?" Most of the time that rope is our own words. For most people, if they talk long enough, eventually their own words will show their transgressions. The wise disciple is directed to be quick to listen and slow to speak. Better to sit silently and let everyone think we are a fool, than to open our mouths and remove all doubt. We have been given two ears and one mouth. Let's use them proportionately and speak wisely.
