Silence is Good
Proverbs 29:20 (AMP) Do you see a [conceited] man who speaks quickly [offering his opinions or answering without thinking]? There is more hope for a [thickheaded] fool than for him.
Knowing a lot and staying up to date on the current events of life and living does not make us out to be the wisest. Perhaps the people always who have something to say about everything think so. But for their audiences – the expedience of their incomplete articulations – gives evidence that they are accustomed to hearing their own voice. Before you and I allow ourselves to think it is necessary to give our input in every conversation, let’s take a freebie and be quiet. Silence is good. It has the capacity to make people think you are...wise.
