Words, Words, Words

“In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise…Proverbs 10:19.”

Words, Words, Words – How meaningful are my words? There are times when we are in someone’s company and the silence is deafening…so we begin filling those silences with words, usually empty words. We all know someone who talks and talks and say nothing. Then we know those individuals who talk and use biting words that hurt and wound others. I recall a time when my son and his precious family were looking for a church because of unkind words said to them, not once, but twice.

Oh, dear saints, we don’t realize how sharp our tongues can be, and I include myself in that. I use to pray, God gives me the words to say, but now I find myself asking Abba Father to help me to know when to keep silent! Abba Father says to us, “Be still and know that I am God.” Silence is golden because it is those moments that God speaks to us so clearly.

Dear saints, in this age of saying the “politically correct” thing, no one has said, “being politically correct can be silence”! My prayer is that we will all find ourselves silent when God would have us to be, but full of wisdom and knowledge, His knowledge when we speak. Most humans are not comfortable with silence, but silence is a golden nugget that quiets and stills our hearts, souls, and minds.

Let’s examine ourselves to see if we are being silent enough to allow Abba Father to speak to us, as well as give us the wisdom to speak His words to others! Praise to our God and Heavenly Father, Jesus, our Savior, and to the Holy Spirit, our dear Intercessor! Amen and Amen
