"I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue… while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue" (Psalm 39:1,3). "Every word of God is pure: He is a Shield unto them that put their trust in Him" (Proverbs 30:5). "Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed" (Jeremiah 46:17). "Holding fast the faithful Word… convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers… whose mouths must be stopped" (Titus 1:9-11).
There is a time I
ought to speak;
There is a time
when I should muse.
The Lord will move
me as I seek
To do whatever
He will choose.
I am reminded of
the treasure
Of every word of
God I hold.
Should I hold
back in any measure
The truth I know
that should be told?
As Pharaoh's
boasting was but noise,
The same is true
of the deceivers
Whose message
nonetheless destroys
The confidence
of weak believers.
Move me to
speak, O Lord, today
While musing in
the silence first,
That You may
teach me what to say
To those who for
the truth will thirst.
