Chatterboxes Beware

The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin." Proverbs 10:8

Ah to be still like really still like checking facts before speculating and opening mouths. When you hear something don’t assume things and try to add to the details but know for certain or risk embarrassment. 

When a person testifies on the Bible in court, if they still do that,  they better not speculate or could be in real trouble. I am sharing this because I have assumed things before and added to a story of an event that occurred finding out later the details I shared were not facts. Boy did I feel stupid. What I did didn’t create havoc anywhere it was just in error. 

Know your facts before you open your mouth. Christian’s are not supposed to be busy bodies or gossips so beware and if you suffer in this area ask God to help you before you destroy a relationship. 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus I thank you for the gift of being able to talk, laugh, sing and so forth but help me gain control over things I think so they don’t come out of my mouth as facts. Give me self control. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
