Ecclesiastes 5:2 Think! Speak! Amen!

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

ECCLESIASTES 5:2 "Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; therefore let your words be few."


Wow! The wise worshiper is a careful listener whose heart is bent upon obedience. This is in contrast to the worship of a fool, whose worship is self centered and filled with rash and rapid chatter.

The fool's worship is constant speech making, like the pharisee on the corner, and is very shallow. We, as wise worshipers, should understand the divine and supreme position of God, be captured by awe, and our words be few.

We need to let the spirit lead us in our prayer; after all, the prayer is not for you and your pride, but a sincere communication with God. I think of the old man in Colorado at the church pot luck on Wednesday night. He said a couple of things and then simply said, "Lord, thank you for this grub we are about to eat." Simple, obedient, and of few words. May the LORD direct my mouth and prayers today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
