Discretion

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer." Psalm 19:14
Discretion drives an unpredictable wedge into sheltered, relaxed, indiscreet lives. Its thunder designs to whet the cutting edge of thinking which stays safely in the archives of routine – same-o grungy words and garbage. An effective author might sometime contrive to create a more concrete channel for language where skillful articulation wants to thrive. Virtue mixes committment and knowledge smoothly, so God’s Word (truth) and tact survive. October 27, 2021

Thanks, Beata. To God be the Glory is right; this earthen vessel is aging fast; but praise God, I can still pen a praise for my LORD, Jesus Christ; He does so much for me; He takes good care of me.
