The value of silence

Psalm 39 starts with a statement about guarding one's ways, not speaking sinfully while in the presence of those who wish to do evil to us.  But the silence grew immense within us . . . to the point where we spit out vile words.

Have you ever held your tongue when someone speaks about something you don't believe in, over and over again, until one day you just snap?  I do.  And so do you.  In today's instant social media age, this is as true now and your comments can have wide implications.

Remember Psalm 39 whenever this happens and remember the Lord.  Our time on Earth is brief.  Place all of your hope with the Lord.  He will sort it all out.

The Lord knows what you are going through in these situations.  You are not alone, even though you may feel like it.  Be at peace that Christ Jesus and His Holy Spirit are with you.
