The Word:
Meaning In Life: the study of Ecclesiastes
part 11
Ecclesiastes 5:2
Be not rash with your mouth and let not your heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in heaven and you are upon the earth: therefore let my words be few!
One of my favorite music groups is three pastors that make up the band - Phillips, Craig and Dean - they have been around for years - one of their latest CDs was entitled Let My Words Be Few I always liked the title but until reading the above verse - did I know it comes right from the Bible - its not just some saying picked out of the air - its actually from God's word - to me the whole issue is being careful of what you say - God's Word says that out of the heart the mouth speaks - so its not so much just trying to control your tongue - its more about allowing God to change your heart - once your heart is changed - your language will no longer be an issue - but still we all need a lesson in being careful what you say before God - nothing we say is kept to ourselves - for God even knows our thoughts - and also knows what we will say -do - or think before we do! =-) God is everywhere at once - our minds cannot understand that - but anyway - we should let our words be few - many times during our "prayer time" we spend much of that time speaking out piece - we want God to hear us so we assume many words mean He will hear us better -but this is not the case -God would rather us speak 10 true words then 100 words that don't come from our hearts - He wants us to know Him personally -this means we must spend time with Him - I have many friends but sometimes they seem distant - or maybe I am distant - it takes a lot of work to keep friendships going - both parties must be willing to compromise and help the other -we must be willing to think more of others then ourselves - again all this flows from our heart - let our word be few so that people will see GOD and not us! We are just His servants anyway! Let God use you today - speak the truth in love - many forget that last part! Amen!
The Final Word:
We should only say what's profitable - let's not waste our words!
CHRIST speaks through the WORD - WORD OF GOD SPEAK!
- LIVIN IN THE WORD - 10/2/08-
May our words be few - and may they all praise the LORD!
