MIRACLES IN 2025
Quiet Wisdom
Proverbs 17:27-28
He that hath knowledge spares his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Pro 17:28 Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise: and he that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
The Bible has much to say about the wisdom of being careful with your words. This verse shows us that a man which has knowledge spares his words. Proverbs 10:19 says, in the multitude of words that there is much sin, but he that refrains his lips is wise. We need to be careful about talking too much. It is possible that with many words we are actually causing problems and not helping a situation. Using words sparingly, once they have been much thought through, will produce peace. This is backed up by Proverbs 15:28 that says, the heart of the righteous studies to answer. We need to be careful to answer with godly wisdom and be careful to give glory to God for His wise counsel.
The next verse has been a blessing in my life for many years now. It says, Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise: and he that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. This has helped me on many occasions to realize that it not how much I say, but how well it is thought through and prayed over that makes a difference. Let’s pray for God to give us wisdom to speak what He desires, and then we will be a blessing to others. By using fewer words, we will be wise and used of God.
Quiet wisdom then is that which comes from God and is shared with others in a way that will be a blessing and can be used by the Lord to help them in their walk with Him.
