Proverbs 17:27–28 “Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.”

What is God saying? The silent seem smart.

How will I obey? Be quick to listen and slow to speak with my family today.

Who will I tell? My daughter Anna. She has her head on my shoulder right now as I finish my personal Devo.

How can you apply this verse to your life today?
