Be Quiet

The Lord has told me this in gentle ways, and not-so-gentle ways lately (I am, admittedly, a bit stubborn, so sometimes the not-so-gentle ways are best for me). Too much talk can lead to thinking of one's words too highly. Instead, be quiet. Let Him speak, the holder of all wisdom. Listen.

"Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil. Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few. For the dream comes through much effort and the voice of a fool through many words.... For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fear God." Ecclesiastes 5:1-3, 7

Thank you, Lord. I am quiet, and listening.
