Many times the best thing to say is, “nothing at all.” When you feel yourself in a battle and the enemy is testing you, allow the Holy Spirit to intervene on your behalf. Be silent. The battle is not yours- it’s the Lords.
James 1:19, “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.”
Be slow to speak, and only after having first listened quietly, so that you may understand the meaning, leanings, and wishes of those who do speak. Thus you will better know when to speak and when to be silent.
-Saint Ignatius
Maturity is silent. Confidence is silent. Success is silent. Let your life do the talking and you never have to say a word.”Silence is a sign of strength. That’s why you have two ears and one mouth. You need to listen twice as much as you speak.
