WANT TO LIVE LONGER?
PLEASE BE SILENT!
As the adage goes; ‘silence is golden’.
Today, I present to you a list of 20 situations
where it is better
to be silent:
1. Be silent – in the heat of anger.
2. Be silent – when you don’t have all the facts.
3. Be silent – when you haven’t verified the story.
4. Be silent – if your words will offend a weaker
person.
5. Be silent – when it is time to listen.
6. Be silent – when you are tempted to make light
of holy things.
7. Be silent – when you are tempted to joke about
sin.
8. Be silent – if you would be ashamed of your
words later.
9. Be silent – if your words would convey the
wrong impression.
10. Be silent – if the issue is none of your
business.
11. Be silent – when you are tempted to tell an
outright lie.
12. Be silent – if your words will damage
someone else's reputation.
13. Be silent – if your words will damage a
friendship.
14. Be silent – when you are feeling critical.
15. Be silent – if you can’t say it without
screaming.
16. Be silent – if your words will be a poor
reflection of the Lord or your friends and family.
17. Be silent – if you may have to eat your words
later.
18. Be silent – if you have already said it more
than one time.
19. Be silent – when you are tempted to flatter a
wicked person.
20. Be silent – when you are supposed to be
working instead.
Remember,
“WHOEVER GUARDS HIS MOUTH AND TONGUE
KEEPS His SOUL FROM TROUBLES”.
