BEFORE YOU SAY ANOTHER WORD, THINK

BEFORE YOU SAY ANOTHER WORD, THINK!

"Wise people think before they act; fools don't and even brag about their foolishness." (Prov. 13:16,NLT) 

One trait of wise people is that, they don't only speak or say what is always right, but they know when to say it. And that is a proof of wisdom. It is not good to always talk without listening. "A truly wise person uses few words...Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent..."(Prov. 17:27-28) Many people have found themselves in some serious mess because of something they said. Even having long life is tied to the words we speak. "Those who control their tongue will have long life, opening your mouth can ruin everything." (Prov. 13:3) "Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut."(Prov. 10:19)

It is unusual for one to be a constant talker without committing sin and defaming the character of someone. The control of the tongue is a show of wisdom. Be wise and know when to speak. AB@TWD
