Watch what you say or don't say it

Proverbs 21:23 (NLT)
23 Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble.

This proverb speaks for itself. There are some things which just should not be said. Avoiding saying the wrong words will keep a person from trouble.

It never fails to amaze me how people try to reconcile their issues and then they will say something that just completely ruins any trust or confidence. I have been listening to several interviews of people in the media lately. It seems the ones in trouble just didn’t know when to say nothing. For instance you don’t stand up before the public and say, “I did not do this!” and then the evidence comes out that you did. Another one is you don’t say the problems in your family was your fault and then turn around and announce had your family been supportive maybe the problems would not have occurred. You can’t blame another for your actions, when you were the one at fault. Listen well to this proverb and remain silent at the appropriate times. Don’t blame others when the blame is yours. And don’t lie to cover up mistakes for it better to say nothing than to say something that will break trust.
