(Proverbs 10:19....When Words Are Many Transgression Cannot Be Avoided, But Whoever Controls His LIPS Acts DISCREETLY.) Good Communication does not Mean Saying Everything You are Thinking and Feeling at any given moment, especially if you are UPSET. The Scriptures show that Uncontrolled Expression of Anger is a Mark of WEAKNESS, not of STRENGTH. (Proverbs 25:28) Proverbs 29:11...A Stupid Person Gives Vent to All His Feelings, But The Wise One Calmly Keeps them in Check.) Moses-- by far the Meekest of all men then alive--once let the Rebelliousness of the nation of Israel cause him to lose his temper and fail to give glory to God. Moses very clearly communicated how he felt, but Jehovah was not Pleased. After 40 years of leading the Israelites, Moses did not have the privilege of taking them into the Promised Land. (Numbers 12:3; 20:10,12; Psalms 106:32) The Scriptures Commend the Exercising of RESTRAINT and DISCRETION when WE Speak. (Proverbs 17;27) Yet, Discretion Does Not Mean Never Expressing Oneself. It Means Speaking WITH GRACIOUSNESS Using the Tongue to HEAL Rather Than TO HURT. (Proverbs 12:18; 18:21; Colossians 4:6...Let Your Words ALWAYS Be GRACIOUS, Seasoned With Salt, so that You will Know How You Should Answer Each Person.) 4:6 w10 6/15 4:4-6.
