Silence is golden!

 Proverbs  17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.


Silence, sometimes is wisdom. Not every situation needs an oral response. There are battles or contentions won with silence. When I was younger, I always responded to every situation orally, but as I grew up, and understood the dimensions of wisdom , I recognized not all situations needed an oral response. I remember a particular incidence while younger, there was an altercation between someone and I, I  gave him a "piece of my mind", I really replied his taunts with words, harsh words. Now, many years later, I look back, and I'm so furious I had to even reply, silence in such situation was the winning edge. Sometimes, you win a tussle with silence. Silence isn't necessarily stupidity, it is golden, it is wise. Not all situations require words from you. Do have a great weekend ahead.

Taking the Virtual edge

Psalms  133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" 133:2 "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;" The beauty of Christianity is in fellowship. Well, due to certain 'developments' around the globe, there's been restrictions on public gatherings, however, this should never put an embargo on fellowshipping with one another as Christians. I've often thought to myself, the internet came at the very right time, the internet is for the advantage of believers. Now, with the internet, we can reach much more people with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people, otherwise who wouldn't have come to Church physically might most definitely stumble on a Christian event online and then believe in Jesus. I heard of a lady who didn't go to Church because she was of a different religion and being afr...
