Power of keeping quiet/ silent (Happy Sunday)

As we all know as a Christian the bible has given us a way/ how to live a simple life and to live happily too.
As is in the Bible we should be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.

  1. To be silent in the heat of anger, “He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.”‭‭ (Proverbs‬ ‭14:17‬ ‭)
  2. Be silent when you don’t have all the facts, “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.”
    (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:13‬ ‭)
  3. Be silent when you haven’t verified the story, “At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.”
    (‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭17:6‬ ‭)
  4. Be silent if your words will offend a weaker person, “And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?”
    (‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭8:11‬ )
  5. Be silent when it is time to listen, “A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.”
    (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:1‬ ‭)
  6. Be silent when you’re tempted to make light of holy things, “Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.”
    ‭‭(Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5:2‬ ‭)
  7. Be silent when you’re tempted to joke about sin, “Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.”
    (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14:9‬ )
  8. Be silent if you will be ashamed of your words later, “All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.”
    (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8:8‬ )
  9. Be silent if your words would convey the wrong impression “He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.”
    ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭17:27‬ ‭)
  10. Be silent if the issue is none of your business, “The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.”
    ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭14:10‬ ‭)
  11. Be silent when you’re tempted to tell an outright lie, “Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.”
    ‭(‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:24‬ ‭)
  12. Be silent if your words will damage someone else’s reputation, “An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.”
    ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭16:27‬ ‭)
  13. Be silent if your words will damage a friendship, “A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.”
    ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭16:28‬ ‭)
  14. Be silent when you’re feeling critical, “Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.”
    ‭‭(James‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭)
  15. Be silent if you can’t sa it without screaming it, “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.”
    (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25:28‬ ‭)
  16. Be silent if your words will be a poor reflection of the Lord or your friends and family, “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:”
    ‭(‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:21-23‬ ‭)
  17. Be silent if you may have to eat your words later, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
    ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭18:21‬ ‭)
  18. Be silent if you have already said it more than one time, “A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.”
    ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭19:13‬ ‭)
  19. Be silent when you’re tempted to flatter a wicked person, “He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:”
    ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭24:24‬ ‭)
  20. Be silent when you’re supposed to be working instead, “In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.”
    ‭(‭Proverbs‬ ‭14:23‬ )

    “Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.”
    ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭21:23‬ ‭)

    “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
    ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭)
