Proverbs 29:11 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says...

“A fool uttereth all his mind: But a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.” (Proverbs 29:11 KJV)

He is giving a pop up alert and reminder of the fool's lack of restraint and the patience of the wise. It is said that the reason a person gets angry (with intent to harm) is because he cannot control something he desperately wants to control. In an abnormal level, that's the nature of a fool. He explodes and spills the beans, so to speak, in a flash. He exhibits folly and shame by responding and reacting to a matter even before fully hearing it.

In contrast, a wise person patiently holds back. He has restraint. He guards his emotions with discretion and prudence, by God’s grace and with the help of the Holy Spirit. As children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, that's what we are sanctified to behave. We are to reflect and abide on the promptings of His Words. It is written: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.” (James 1:19-21 NIV)

And I Say, AMEN!
