We probably have all seen a situation that was made worse the more someone talked. We may have even been the person that continued to dig a deeper and deeper hole the more we talked! Whenever we feel a situation going downhill, it may be better to just stop talking!
We are reminded in Proverbs that our talking, our words, may make a situation worse. During the times when we think we need to say more, we need to stop talking to those around us and talk to God. God can give us guidance. He can give us the right words to say or the strength and wisdom to say nothing at all. When we turn to God and allow Him to intervene, we can just stop talking and focus on God's Word!
Ask God for direction so you know when to stop talking so others can see His glory!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your guidance. Help me to know when to stop talking so I do not distract others from Your glory. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
