Wisdom and discretion

Last night, out of anger I posted a huge vent on my blog. I have since deleted it.

Proverbs 3:21-22~ My son, let not them depart from my eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: so shall they be life unto thy soul and grace unto thy neck.

This is 1 of the verses I read this morning.

UM..... ouch.

Sound wisdom and discretion.

Discretion......

dis·cre·tion/disˈkreSHən/Noun
1. The quality of behaving or speaking in such a way as to avoid causing offense or revealing private information.
2. The freedom to decide what should be done in a particular situation.

Wisdom....

1.Wisdom is a deep understanding and realizing of people, things, events or situations, resulting in the ability to choose or act to consistently produce the optimum results with a minimum of time and energy.
2. having good sense.

I used neither wisdom nor discretion in my venting and I just want to apologize.

vs 23 says ~ Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely and they foot shall not stumble.

Don't you hate it when you stumble? You you get tripped up on something and you fall flat on your face?

But don't you LOVE that you can come before the throne of grace and know that you will be forgiven.

Don't you wish that life had a delete button just like this blog has a delete button? Sometimes I think that it would make life so much easier.......but then how would we know the fullness of forgiveness and grace would we not stumble?

Tonight I am praying that discretion and wisdom not depart from in front of my eyes.
