Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
In the Bible we see the two following phrases: The beginning of wisdom and the beginning of knowledge. The reason why the two words are used is because wisdom is the correct, and prudent use of knowledge, therefore they are presented, and they are intended to be an inseparable whole. Knowledge in the hands of a fool could be quite dangerous, and could bring nations and persons to the brink of extinction. Therefore, knowledge and wisdom are to be regarded as two peas in one pod.
[2] Greatness is also manifested by the control you exercise over your words. In other words, to speak and act impulsively, and to let loose a barrage of unbecoming words, if and when you become ticked off, shows great weakness, not greatness…. Proverbs 29: 20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. Proverbs 17: 28 Even a fool when he holds his peace is accounted as wise, and he that shuts his mouth is esteemed a man of understanding.
[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 567] Physically, Samson was the strongest man upon the earth; but in self-control, integrity, and firmness, he was one of the weakest of men. Many mistake strong passions for a strong character, but the truth is that he who is mastered by his passions is a weak man. The real greatness of the man is measured by the power of the feelings that he controls, not by those that control him.
1st Corinthians 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beats the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
