Blessings to you in Christ my sister. Thank you for this post. This article is a much-needed reminder for me to think before I speak. James tells us that our tongues cause us great trouble when we fail to use them properly. Reading this also brought to mind that Jesus was silent before Pontious Pilate and Herod at His trial. Our Savior sets the example for us to follow. Even though He is Devine, He was also human just as we are, so He understands how hard it is to hold our tongues and be silent before our accusers.

When I sought Godly wisdom, it was received. When I released “momma bear” regret followed. I learned that being humble and allowing God to handle situations does not equate to being fearful of man. It equates to walking in the Word which is by far much more peaceful than the world (religous and otherwise) understands. It’s easier to leave some confused as it brings about a willingness to understand how we manage to be this way. The answers are in the belief of and in The WORD.

Thanks, friend! I believe it convicts everyone who is honest about it. We have all been guilty of speaking one word too many, instead of holding our tongues!

Thanks, Martha. It is actually almost Amusing to see their reaction to silence. Some people get even angrier when you just smile at their insults

Amen, Diana! I can relate. It’s hard not to retaliate, but God honors us when we hold our tongues!

It’s amazing how silence can stop an aggressor in his or her tracks. They want you to up the ante, and when you refuse to engage, they have nowhere to go.
Beautiful post, Patricia!
