What spirit lives in you?

He who has knowledge spares his words,
And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.
Proverbs 17:27 (nkjv)

I have learned that the truth needs no help. God, does not need us to defend Him. His words stand alone. Hence, if you know without a doubt, what you speak is truth (regarding your life and/or situations), you can remain calm and secure in the fact that the truth always prevails. A hasty person reacts and assumes without obtaining full knowledge of a matter. A person with many words, really doesn't know what they are saying and they are fueled by pride not humbleness. Pay attention in how one speaks. Are they speaking words filled with bitterness and hate? Are they hot tempered and full of pride (PSALM 59:12) looking like an oncoming wreck? Are their words to you hurtful or helpful to you? A truly wise man knows that many words lead to sin (PROVERBS 10:19), so they don't say much, only the facts (truth). Jesus showed us how we are to conduct ourselves. He calmed the storms and ignored the nay-sayers. He answered every question asked and when He was faced with opposition, He moved on to the next city (person and place). He never stayed where not welcomed or received and He never argued to prove He was right. Why? Truth needs no help. It always prevails. Amen.
