CLOSED MOUTH OR CLOSED HAND
Then there are times too; when we wished we had opened our hand. Opened hands receive and give gifts, open hands work and attend to duties needing attention. An opened hand will get paid because it holds out to grasp. If your hand is closed in a fist-- the reward will fall onto the ground. These are things of reasons and may help us understand : "We have not because we do not ask, and we received not because we do not open up."
A quote for these may go as follows:
"A closed mouth, won't get fed." "A closed hand, never gets paid."
"Open wide"
I'm done.

We need wisdom to know when to speak and when not to speak --- something I definitely have asked God to help me on. Great blog and very insightful. Yes lawd knows we have to open our mouths to eat!
