Gaining Judgement

A man who lacks judgment derides his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his tongue.
   -- Proverbs 11:12
   


   If I have wisdom I don't have to prove myself  wisdom by disrespecting others and putting them down. Instead, I need hold my tongues and let my life speak what is good, honorable, righteous, and true. it is too easy to see something wrong and criticize what others are doing. It is hard to hold my tongue some times but God can do this. He has shown me great restraint in situations where my human nature would have been bad. He is faithful and can impart wisdom, if we ask.

Lord, give me wisdom in the way I use my speech. May it be a blessing to others and a source of praise to you.
