Know-it-all's
Have you ever had conversations with a "Know-it-All"? Those people who know everything about anything.
The Bible says, The wise accumulate knowledge-a true treausre; know-it-alls talk too much-a sheer waste.
The following is an excerpt from Max Lucado's Devotional about those who speak words that just are a sheer waste.
"People and their insenstive comments. Thoughts that should have remained thoughts. Feelings which had no business being expressed. Opinions carelessly tossed like a grenade into a crowd."
"When you start to think about the words people say, you realize they come from an infamous family whose father has breeded generations of pain. His name? EGOTISM."
"His children are the 3 ugly sisters: disregard, disrespect, and disappointment. These three witches have combined to poison countless relationships and break innumerable hearts. Listed among their weapoms are Satan's cruelest artillery; gossip, accusations, resentment, impatience and on and on...."
"God's Word has strong medicine for those who carelessly wag their tongues. The message is clear. He who dares to call himself God's ambassador is not afforded the luxury of idle, babbling, judgemental words."
Could this be the reason God created us with two ears and one mouth?
