Being Wise


When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his
tongue is wise.
-- Proverbs 10:19


I am constantly filling my world with noise. If it is not the sound of my own voice, then I turned up some other noise to fill the silence. Recently I decided to cut back expenses and I cut my cable service down to the minimum. I also was looking at a time of quiet before God that he will fill the void with his wisdom and pour out his Spirit in a way I have never experienced. Lots of junk fills the air like radio talk shows, endless sports, and products we didn't even know we needed. We are even given the opportunity to sound off to that noise will endless call in shows to "express our opinion". God's wisdom reminds us to learn to hold our tongue and let silence rule over more of our time rather than the noisy words that so
often clutter my world.


Holy God, please give me more wisdom so that I can keep my mouth shut more often and my ears more attentive to the needs of others.Purify my heart and cleanse my speech so that it will be helpful to others and bring glory to you.

Fill the void with "YOUR NOISE"
