Prattle

"Think about what I am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things" (2Timothy 2:7)

What is it with those folks who talk all the time, who prate on but have nothing meaningful or memorable to say. It seems to me that they have no idea what they think until they hear themselves saying it, which, it occurs to me, is the answer to my own question: they don't think. 

The secret to understanding the issues of life is a rich interior life, cultivating a silence in which we work out the issues of life in our own minds and resolve them there before we talk about them.  

And especially should we think about the things that Jesus had to say, for in Him "are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3).
