A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered.
– Proverbs 17:27(NLT)
CONCISE WORDS FROM THE WISE
A poem and essay by ILMA
It is best to use fewer words and stick to what is true
More words will be more prone to be misconstrued
A truly wise person uses concise and few words
It shows someone who can discern the ways of the world.
Whoever keeps his mouth and tongue avoids troubles
If you love to talk, you will eventually fall into the rubbles
Whoever guards his mouth, is actually preserving his life
A fool will talk more and yet lacks wisdom and insight.

I have met many people who talk a lot and can’t stop speaking. One of these people I know just mutters and think aloud. She doesn’t even hear a thing anyone else’s say. She is so busy dumping all her toxic mind into words to anyone who is around her. She targets strangers, friends, family, acquaintances just so she can dump all the noise in her head. I think she used this learned behavior as a result of rejection in her life and not having someone to talk to for quite a long time. She would talk to everyone around her and also to herself. Most of the time, she just chatters away to anyone and everyone. The bible says that a truly wise person uses few words.

SIMPLICITY OF GOD’S WORD Poem Devotional
April 28________________________________________
The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand.
– Psalm 119:130(NLT)
SIMPLICITY OF GOD’S WORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
God’s word is simple enough for all to understand
It brings about light and wisdom to all humans
It pierces the heart of everyone who seeks it
Correction and teaching comes from the Holy Spirit.
Seek it and you will find clarity and peace
It leads you to freedom from attacks of the unseen
Consume and meditate on it day and night
You will find wisdom, blessings and insight.

Why are some books hard to read or study? When I was in high school, I hated history because of the memorization that went along with it. It was something that I didn’t take pleasure in. I loved Mathematics in grade school up until high school. Though there are formulas to memorize, I was challenged because my brother and I were tutored by my mother’s friend. She is s smart and pretty lady, so, her personality brought inspiration to learning Math skills. When I went to college, a history professor, changed my perspective about the subject. She made me see history as compilation of stories and not just dates and people’s name. I began to see it very differently after that.
The bible may be hard for some to read, but if you allow the Holy Spirit to guide you, it is the simplest to understand.
