 | RestoringVoice Jul 29 | When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. Proverbs 10:19 This scripture caught my attention because I read something on social media about how we need to speak our convictions if they are that important to us. I sat with that thought as part of me gets it. When I am passionate about something, I want others to know about it. If I'm passionate in another direction, I've learned not to engage in the fight. As I read the scripture I was reminded it is not my mouth that is my witness; it is my life. My life is lived to share what I am passionate about. People who know me, know that I'm a passionate about God, helping others, family and pumpkin spice. My life reflects it. Do I speak about these things? Absolutely. But the witness of my life is much stronger than the passion my voice that often gets drowned out in the noise of all the opinions around me. It has taken me a long time to allow God to restrain my lips. I have learned to be quiet, and know that that is okay. Lord, help me to know when You want me to use my voice and when I should restrain it. Let my life always be a passionate reflection of You. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
