Ecclesiastes 5:2 New International Version (NIV)
2 Do not be quick with your mouth,
do not be hasty in your heart
to utter anything before God.
God is in heaven
and you are on earth,
so let your words be few.
do not be hasty in your heart
to utter anything before God.
God is in heaven
and you are on earth,
so let your words be few.
Even in our sound-byte world, far too many words are spoken
in pledge to God that go unfulfilled. Let's thank him, praise him, and petition
him. But let's also realize that, while our prayers need to be persistent, our
words don't need to be elaborate or refined, just few in number.
Thought for today:
Am I in the practice of talking long and elaborate but not keeping my word?
