“Dennis the Menace” was a cartoon in the papers back in the 60’s. One cartoon had a couple visiting Dennis’s parents. With the mother’s back turned, she overheard Dennis say to the visiting wife, “Mom says you married for money. How much did you get?”
Have you ever said something about another person and the cat got out of the bag? Ouch! Yes, I know the feeling. Scriptures give us a way to avoid that kind of situation.
Proverbs 11:12
Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense,
but a man of understanding remains silent.
Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.
Job 6:24
“Teach me, and I will be silent;
make me understand how I have gone astray.
Been there and done that, but from now on obey the Word.
Think about it.
