“Hold your tongue! Now... It seems that she has time on her hands.” – Lady Tremaine (Disney’s Cinderella, 1950)

The more talk, the less truth; the wise measure their words. (Proverbs 10:19)

• Kingdom Moment:

There’s a funny connection between ‘hold your tongue’ and having ‘time on your hands.’ Proverbs 10:19 reminds us that wisdom sometimes looks like knowing when to cease from talking. So today, when you’re tempted to say too much, or argue and reason your way–create a Kingdom Moment by choosing to hold your tongue and instead use your hands for something good. Sometimes the loudest evidence of God working in you is the response you choose not to give.
