”Gossip betrays confidence, so avoid a person that talks too much”. Proverbs 20:19
Do you gossip? Hmm. Innocently sharing information you don’t really know is true or not is gossip. Gossip is poison.
If you have ever been hurt by gossip you know how it hurts. Gossip causes all sorts of problems and does not bring glory to God. If a person shared a confidence with you keep it as that.
The Navy had or maybe still had a motto ‘loose lips sink ships’ meaning just that if you share info you had no business sharing it could cause war. Let your mouth be still. Sit peacefully. Be quiet.
PRAYER: Help me not be a participant in idle chatter or be a busy body. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
