Sounds Of Silence

Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues.Proverbs 17:28 NIV Bible gateway 

Do you like silence, peace, and solitude or do you have to have the clamor of television or music blaring constantly?Silence is good. 

Some silence though is disheartening and sad and that is when you have not heard from a loved one in quite sometime. For those in jail it probably is tough. I imagine people in nursing homes hate silence unless they have visitors pouring in. On the Defy series ‘Alone’ the 10 contestants stuck by themselves in Patagonia or Vancouver Island get tired of the loneliness. 

Also silence when with people can be okay by just enjoying their companionship. Don’t be a chattering fool(Proverbs 10:8)in other words. Be still. In quietness and confidence is your strength(Isaiah 30:15). Now go ponder the types of silence. 

PRAYER: Lord help me know when to speak and when to be quiet. Show me a person who needs someone to talk to. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
