Thoughts for 25Jul2012 # 2114 The need to speak We ask God to deliver us from the urge to open our mouths when we should shut it. We ask God to give us the wisdom to keep silence when silence is wise. We ask God to teach us that not everything needs to be said, and that there are very few things that need for us to say. Proverbs 11:13 "He who goes abroad as a talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing hidden." Ecclesiastes 3 : 17 "For every activity under heaven its time...a time for silence and a time for speech" Proverbs 11 : 12 "A man of understanding remains silent" 2114
