My Dad was a man of few words and that does not mean he could not speak, but he chose his words carefully, thereby providing an excellent example for his off-spring. When he spoke people listened because the yardstick of his life measured up to what he was explaining. He was also a man who remained calm even when the fires of affliction were burning 70 times hotter and our lives as children were the richer because of it. He was ordained into ministry because his actions spoke louder than words. This reminded me of the story Dennis Rainey tells about selling things from door–to-door as a child and one man buying something because of the integrity of his father. How much we need to understand the sensibility of this in these critical times and we must take observance again of the wise man in Proverbs 17:27 – “It makes a lot of sense to be a person of few words and to stay calm.” In that regards, I remind you again that “it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt.”
