While most of the time, we speak what is on our minds, some times it is better to hold our tongues, at least temporarily. If we are brought into court, we are allowed to speak only at certain times. Other times, we should not speak simply out of courtesy to someone else who is speaking. Sometimes, we are so emotional that is better that we wait and consider our words before speaking.
James 4:6,10 says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.” When we stand in the presence of God, we can only yield to His greatness. When we understand and acknowledge our lowly status before Him, all His amazing blessings are available to us.
