PROVERBS 17:28
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
I chose this verse cause; do you ever feel like GOD said SHUT UP? Maybe it’s just me, to me GOD is telling us that even a fool knows when to be quite, makes the fool look wise. This man doesn’t say much because he is a fool and is trying to hide his foolish ways. The other man shutteth his lips because he knows when to talk and stays on point and tries not to deviate from the subject at hand. This man is the guy who is cool headed and of good spirit. These are the guys that are scary they never get mad or angry always cool, but if they ever do blow man look out, I worked with a guy just like this never got mad never got angry loved the LORD. I worked with him for about 7 years not one time did he get mad didn’t talk a lot either, then he found out his wife was having an affair that didn’t seem to bother him either they had one kid a boy, I think he was 4 or 5 years old. His ex wife then had moved to Florida and she decided one day that she was going to take their son from him and go back to Florida, he had custody of the boy she was basically kid napping the kid. That was the day he blew, I never seen anybody that angry before, still haven’t to this day. The point is that only GOD knows the heart and what is inside us it’s hard to tell who is the fool and who is really sold out to JESUS these days.
Psa 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Jer 20:12 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
1Ch 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
