Proverbs 17:28 reminds us that “Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent.” In moments of adversity, maintaining silence allows us to reflect on our circumstances and seek God’s guidance with a humble heart.

The Bible teaches us the power of words – they have the ability to build up or tear down, to bring life or destruction. Proverbs 18:21 states, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Therefore, when we find ourselves in deep waters, choosing silence over impulsive words allows us to avoid adding fuel to the fire.

In times of trial, we can draw inspiration from Jesus himself, who remained silent before Pontius Pilate as false accusations were hurled at Him (Matthew 27:12-14). Christ’s silence demonstrated a divine restraint, a trust in God’s plan, and a refusal to engage in futile arguments.

Additionally, Psalm 46:10 urges us to “Be still, and know that I am God.” Embracing stillness in the midst of life’s storms allows us to listen to God’s voice and gain clarity on His purpose for our struggles. It’s a profound act of faith, acknowledging that God’s wisdom far surpasses our own understanding.

20 Reasons to Keep Your Mouth Shut

In prayerful silence, we can surrender our worries, fears, and uncertainties to God, trusting that He is the anchor in our stormy seas. The Apostle James reminds us of the importance of controlling our tongues, emphasizing that “those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves” (James 1:26).

So, if you find yourself in deep waters, take a pause, reflect, and choose the wisdom of silence. Allow God’s guidance to shape your response, and may your stillness become a testimony to the faith that anchors your soul in the midst of life’s storms.

Also remember what’s over our heads, is under his feet.
