Proverbs 17:27
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered" Proverbs 17:27 I n todays reading of Proverbs, I came across this verse that I had underlined. Well, it's no secret that when a verse is underlined, it either means you have someone in your life that it relates to, or that you are the one who needs to apply it. Well, it's the latter for me. I am a blunt person, and not always even-tempered. These 2 are not a good combo. My mouth tends to fly freely without thinking which causes to hurt, offend, or even anger someone. But when I'm angry, words just sting the one I'm flinging them at or cause them to get riled up; then I start a all out war, and I start regretting what I said. Normally, it my loved one's that I have done this to, and I HATE it! God has worked in this area throughout my life. I have learned to restrain and be even-tempered, although I still have my moments. Thank the Lord, they are few! But I hope...
