"The Hardest Easy Way..."

Good morning!!
This is a awesome time for us as Christians when we remember what Jesus went through for US!! We will never really know "how much it cost to see our sins upon that cross", as the song goes... BUT, WE THANK HIM, DON'T WE??!!

Our bold print today is in verse 19, the NLTse:

Proverbs 10:19

19 "Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut."

I call this bold print "The hardest easy way to stay out of trouble"!! How many times has our mouth gotten us into trouble? More accurately put; how many times has our lack of control of our mouths gotten is into trouble? Many times? More times than you or I care to count, right? If we kept our mouths (our big "yaps") shut more, we would have so much less stress and trouble wouldn't we?

I love the way the NKJV puts it:

Proverbs 10:19

19 In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise. NKJV

So, we agree that when you talk to much you are going to sin, but verse 19 tells us we can do something about it...RESTRAIN them!! We CAN control over our mouths! But, to do that it's "gonna" take some real wisdom and common sense, no? Well, we KNOW where to get those attributes from, don't we? (Prov. 2)....We have talked about it enough!!!

So, the easiest way to stay out of trouble is to keep mouths under control; restrained! But, it is the hardest thing to do without wisdom and understanding, which our God grants to those that follow His instruction.

So, make that choice to pursue wisdom --- it teaches us how to keep our BIG YAPS shut!! :)

I love you guys!
