Remaining Silent

Proverbs 11:12

English Standard Version (ESV)
12 Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense,
    but a man of understanding remains silent.

My favorite topic, the mouth.  Ouch, confession, I spoke negative about someone yesterday at work.  I feel sick about it.  The negative subject started and instead of being silent, I added my two cents.  Wow.  This is how I need to be careful.  Keeping silent in any situation is challenging for me, I am a talker.  The slippery slope of "joining in" when the topic is brought up is where I need to be vigilent.  Dear Lord, help me and give me wisdom when a negative subject is brought up to REMAIN SILENT.
