Proverbs 17:28

‘Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise: and he that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.’

• Sometimes the best thing to do is not to say anything at all.
• Often we are too quick to speak.
• Once the words are out, there is no going back.
• So make sure what you say is considered and ‘life giving’!

Prayer: Lord, may my words and the things I say bring life and healing to those around me and help me to manage my responses, because You have said that I can do all things, because Your strengthen me. Amen.

Spreuke 17:28

Selfs ‘n sot sal as hy swyg, vir wys gereken word; as hy sy lippe toehou, vir verstandig.

• Soms is dit die beste om absoluut niks te sê nie.
• Ons praat dikwels te gou.
• As die woorde eers uit is kan ons dit nie terug neem nie.
• Maak dus seker dat wat jy sê oordink is en dat dit lewe spreek.

Gebed: Vader, mag my woorde en die dinge wat ek sê lewe en heling bring vir almal om my en help my om my reaksies te beheer, want U het gesê dat ek alles kan doen omdat U vir my krag gee. Amen
