“For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.” Isaiah 30:15 KJV
The greatest things in life are formed and grown in silence. When a woman conceives, the baby is formed in silence. By the time the baby is mature enough for the world to see, he or she will come out of the womb and the noise will begin naturally.
The noisy fellow will talk without thinking, but the silent fellow will think before talking. If he does not have a perfect answer yet, he would rather say nothing, so you cannot hold his words against him.
It is not every question you must answer. Learn to stay silent sometimes. Proverbs 17:28 says that even a fool is considered wise when he keeps silent. Silence is perceived as wisdom.
Always ask God for the wisdom to know when to be silent, when to talk and what to say at all times.
Father, please help me to know when to speak and when to be quiet in Jesus name.
Shalom!
