Pro 29:11 A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.
I think that this scripture at its face value is somewhat of a detriment to us as men. It almost tells us do hold in our feelings.
However, Strongs defines feelings (in Hebrew rûaḥ): from a wind (resemblance of breath); a sensible (or even violent) exhalation; figuratively life or anger; by resemblance spirit (but only of a rational being).
This word only speaks of two types of feeling and in completely opposite ends of the spectrum. The truth is we have many feelings and if we hold them in, it actually makes us more likely to be angry, bitter or frustrated. Solomon was the wisest man next to Jesus but whoever interpreted this for us didn’t do us a real favor.
Now with that being said the word for feelings here is mostly negative so he is smart to tell us not to vent all of those because that causes contention, consternation and sometimes chaos. So while I get the message from Solomon, I wish I would not have taken it so literally.
Feeding His Sheep 
I read this the other day and for some reason it stuck with me. I looked at it again today, and the part that is missing is from the King James where it says “A wise man keepeth it in until afterwards” The last part is key. It is not that we are supposed to hold everything in and not speak, but rather take a pause listen to what is being said and then respond with wisdom having considered the matter. Foolish men say the first thing that comes to their mind. They react with emotion and often do not hear what is being said. There is skill and art to mastering saying what we mean as opposed to what we feel. As Christians, we should also take a moment to check in with the Holy Spirit and confirm what God has for us to share vs. where we should keep still and allow Him to fight our battles. Thanks for sharing and keeping the messages going!
Yours in Christ,
