Proverbs 10:14 (Living Bible)
"Wise people treasure knowledge, but the babbling of fools invites trouble." and vs. 19 "Don't talk to much, for it fosters sin. Be sensible and turn off the flow."
Oh, how we need to learn to shut our mouths sometimes! Did you ever notice the more we run our mouths sometimes, the deeper we put our foot in our mouth? We end up saying things we shouldn't had said, or we end up spreading gossip. Our mouth will get us in trouble, as it says in vs. 14 "invites trouble". "Wise people treasure knowledge", we need to have the knowledge when to shut up, or as it says in vs. 19 "be sensible and turn off the flow." I will leave you with this verse in James 1:26 " If you claim to be religious but don't control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless."
Bottom line: Learn to control your tongue and it will keep you out of trouble. Learn how to have a quiet and gentle spirit. Have knowledge, when in doubt, shut your mouth!
