S – The one who has knowledge restrains his words, and one who keeps a cool head 

is a person of understanding. ²⁸ Even a fool is considered wise when he keeps silent—

discerning, when he seals his lips.

Proverbs 17:27–28 CSB

O –  Commentary:

A wise man is cautious in what he says; he thinks before he talks (cf. 14:8) and does not gab. This reveals that he is even-tempered (lit., “cool of spirit”; cf. the recent phrase “keeping one’s cool”). Restraint in talking may even cause a fool (’ěwîl, an arrogant, hardened fool; see comments on 1:7) to be considered wise.

“Proverbs,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – Most people are considered wise for what they say.  This brings the other side of the equation.  Listening and restraint is an important aspect as well. 

R – Heavenly Father, we surrender and stand in awe of you.  Help us to listen today.  Give us restraint when we we want to surge forward.  We desire to do your will and accomplish your purposes today.
