Psalm 19:14 ” Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight.”

The line bottom is this…Not everything you think needs to be said. That’s because, one of the greatest signs of spiritual maturity is knowing when to stay silent, and keep your mouth shut. (James 1:19) For not every opinion, offense, criticism, or conflict deserves a response from you. All we need to do is look at I Peter 3:10 that quotes Psalm 34:12-16 which cautions us to keep our tongue from evil and listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit… admonishing us to live in harmony, avoid revenge, and respond to wrongdoing with a blessing rather than retaliation.
