WHAT TO DO.......
get on the phone or social media and gossip, stir things & share juicy tidbits ***OR*** keep mouth shut & pray?
This can apply to offenses, hearing a rumor about someone, having to be the one to share something so everyone knows you're important and in the know about everything.....
I actually like it when someone says "hey, did you hear so and so about so and so"....and to be able to say "no, I haven't heard about it".....
Gossip, juicy talk, having to share all the details because someone else just needs to know all dies when it hits a wise person's ears....
A wise man keeps his mouth shut and at least makes others think he has wisdom but a fool opens his mouth and removes all doubt.
The most pleasing to the Lord is mouth shut & knees on the floor....
Lord may I please You in all I say and do....may I build others up with my words and deeds and not tear down!
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Proverbs 16:24
