2 Chronicles 29, Romans 14, Psalms 24:1-10, Proverbs 20:12
What God said to me – There is an old country song that says, “you’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, you’ve got to know when to fold ‘em.” It doesn’t just apply to cards, it also applies to your tongue. Sometimes you just need to hold your tongue because it is not the right time or place to say it – sometimes you just have to let it go because in the overall scheme of things, it is not that big of a deal so your opinion is not useful or uplifting – sometimes you need to lay it all out. So, how do you know when to speak or not? First of all, remember you are not the Holy Spirit – it is not your job to convict of sin and righteousness and judgment – it is Mine. Unless you have absolute certainty that “I AM” leading you to speak, then don’t. You pray that I will draw, convict and change them. You lead by example. You pursue the things that make for peace and the building up of one another. You be loving and kind and prayerful and walk with Me in obedience knowing that each one will give an account of himself to Me.
