Proverbs 15:28

The book of Proverbs gives us insights into so many different areas of life. The book gives us instruction on how to live our lives for God. Here is a proverb that gives us insight about pondering how to answer:

Proverbs 15:28 (ESV)

The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,

but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

I need to follow the truth in this proverb.  When we have been declared righteous we need to remember that God gives us, with that, the Spirit of God who produces self-control, patience, and many more fruit in our lives.  Instead of just blurting out responses and reactions and rebuttals the proper response is to "ponder" how to answer.   When we have the Wisdom of God indwelling us (1 Corinthians 2), we have the ability, through faith, to ponder.   We may not think so, but we do.  We may not believe so, but we should.   Moses had the same thoughts we do ... "I can't do it!"   God sent him a "helper" in the form of his brother who was a "type" of the Spirit.   Aaron was there to speak for and with Moses.   So, too, the Spirit for us.  Don't just blurt out.   The mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.   The mouth of the righteous doesn't.
