Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:17 The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools. (NIV)
Nugget: Have you ever noticed that the people who talk the loudest and have the most to say usually say absolutely nothing? But those who give you the sound advice and guide you by the hand made the most impression on you & your life? These are the type of people God has placed into our lives for a reason (of course the other type will cross our paths too); the thing is, is to appreciate those who make a lasting impression & impact. These are the people we should value!
Whenever I look back on my life, I think of the “quiet words of the wise” that have helped me to get where I am today; there’s definitely a lot of growth in wise things!
Quote: “Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind.” –Samuel Taylor Coleridge
