Wisdom to speak....or not!

Good morning all. Sorry to have missed on Friday. May this be a wonderful day in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! God is good all the time,all the time God is good.

Have you every noticed that people really like to "be in the know?" By being in the know I mean, have the answers, know what is going on with sports, world events, people, work, or whatever.

I was visiting with a neighbor Saturday evening and I asked if he watched the LSU and Alabama game. He said no he is recording it. This was my clue to not tell him the score or anything about it as he had been gone and was going to watch it.

Well, wouldn't you know, a visitor at another neighbors house saw us, came over and asked if we watched the game. Neighbor 1 said, "no, I have it recorded." Visiting neighbor then said, " well, dad was upset with the final." Now, his dad is from La. so that throws a light on who he was for.

Just in a matter of seconds, less than a minute, the hours of recording and enjoyment for neighbor 1 was gone because of this statement. How often do we do this in people's lives. A quick comment, a flippant comment, or just a passing comment may deter someone else's journey. Where does wisdom come from? When does wisdom come in?

Proverbs 3:13 "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding." Also, take a moment to read Proverbs 4:5-10.

May you have the wisdom today and forever to speak when necessary and the wisdom to know when to not speak. A great sermon here to myself. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
