27 The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
Proverbs 17
This proverb teaches us that true wisdom is demonstrated through self-control in both speech and temper, not through being the loudest or most passionate. A person who thinks before they speak and remains calm under pressure shows more insight than someone who is easily provoked.
It also highlights the value of silence and thoughtful speech.
Let us learn to listen more & speak less. Be quick to listen and slow to speak, reflecting the advice in James 1:19.
Think before we speak. Consider our words carefully to ensure they are purposeful and not wasted or harmful.
Practice emotional control, calmness, especially when provoked. A calm spirit is a sign of wisdom and understanding.
Thank you Lord for your Word!
God bless you
