Greetings sisters!
I am dropping in again on another day the Lord granted. I hope you are all doing well most of all spiritually and pressing forwards in the faith of Christ!
I was just pondering how it is wise to be slow to speak. It is human nature to jump to conclusions, think they know things, assume things, and just be too free with speaking their mind and heart. But I think of Mary who pondered things in her heart.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart...
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Luke 2:19, 51
And His Word teaches the same too.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.James 1:19-20
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.Proverbs 29:11
There's so very many scriptures on the tongue in fact. So many warnings and guidance. And sometimes our Lord didn't speak either so let us use our words with wisdom. There is a time to speak and a time not to.
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.Proverbs 18:13
I'm sharing this good scripture too...
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
We look for the coming of the Prince of peace who will come in wrath to judge this present evil world. He will gather His elect and there will be a new heaven and earth where there is no more curse. He will make all things new! Let us be watching and ready and not caught unaware. Hold fast sisters!
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.1 Thessalonians 3:12-13
Strive on as good soldiers of Christ, sisters! He is worthy! Love, mercy, and peace unto you.
