Let your words be few!

“Don’t speak impulsively-don’t be in a hurry to give voice to your words before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; so let you words be few.”
Ecclesiastes 5:1 CJB verse 2 in other translations.

In other words don’t speak or make decisions under stress or emotion! Why? Often times we make wrong decisions and definitely say wrong things when we are under emotional stress!

“Out of the same mouth come blessings and cursing! Brothers, it isn’t right for things to be this way.”
James 3:10 CJB

It is a very strange thing that huge blessings can come out of one’s mouth and out of the same mouth can come huge cursing!

“I Have had to live far too long with those who hate peace.”
Psalm 120:6 CJB

Even as the world around us is getting more and more unsettling, we still should be wise, being careful and prayerful before we speak!
Have a blessed day!
