Don't Be In Haste To Talk

Proverbs 29:20 "Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him." NIV

Point to ponder on: Don't be in a hurry to talk, give a thought to what you have to say before you speak on any matter.

Have you ever verbally affirmed a thing without having a proof to support such notion? Have you verbally given approval to something without appropriate evaluation? Have you verbally committed yourself to a thing without a coherent knowledge of such? For the mouth to speak without the use of brain  is to talk without thinking.

So many error would have been averted if proper care was taken to think through a matter before people hurried to give statements on a matter. Many have spoken out of anger, jealousy, intimidation, fear, doubt, envy and the likes which has caused division, strife, rancor and hate because it was done out of emotional burst and without proper thinking. Sometimes certain things are also said when people are excited without thinking through. Words are powerful and once they are altered they will impact positively or negatively on the hearer and the speaker as well. Therefore, it is wise under any circumstance that we don't allow emotions to blind our sense of judgement and propel our speech but to rather allow logic (reasoning) under the influence of the Holy Spirit before we commit ourselves verbally to any matter. "Wisdom is profitable to direct" (Eccl.10:10b-kjv) Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger."(James 1:19-kjv2k)

Good morning. Enjoy His presence.

I celebrate you.
