Fewer
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.
3 A dream comes when there are many cares,
and many words mark the speech of a fool. Ecclesiastes 5:2-3
We have all seen the AT&T commercials where the man sits
with kids and talks about how faster is better, but I think we all need
to take a close look at fewer is better. Do you find yourself getting
worked up over something in your life that makes you rapidly fire off an
email, make a telephone call, or just vent to someone? Think about how
many words you use to describe what is going on, how much you are doing
the talking/writing and what that other person is doing. Twitter is an
amazing way to communicate, because it only allows you to type 140
characters. It really makes you think about what and how you say
something which is posted for the world to see. Now think about how you
come before God in prayer. God already knows your heart, so when you
pray don't be hasty but be direct and careful in how you pray. You
don't want to use too many words, because you definitely don't want to
look like a fool. God loves you and in the case of prayer, most times
fewer is better. Let your heart lead you in your communication and your
relationship with God.
Have a great weekend.
