Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech. – Martin Farquhar Tupper
Does the Bible address this necessary ability? Glad you asked.
Luke 9:33
And as the men were parting from Him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.
Poor Peter, he thought he had to say something when he should have been quiet. I’ve been there and done that. Man, don’t you feel stupid when that happens. Apply the brake on that tongue.
Give it some thought.
