“The king asked, Is everything all right with young Avshalom? Achima’atz answered, When Yoav sent the king’s servant and me your servant, I saw a big commotion; but I didn’t know what it was.”
2 Samuel 18:29 CJB
Whether Achima`atz knew that Avvshalom was dead or not, his main goal was to be acknowledged by the king to be the first with the news, even though he only had part of it! We all need to be careful of speaking whether we have something to say or no, especially if we don’t have all the facts! We see this happening all around us today, people speaking, protesting or just being divisive just to be heard!
“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 your 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, give wrong or incomplete information 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
So we need to be prayerful, mindful and careful of what we say and do! So let’s be praying and waiting for Adonai to give us direction on the right things to say!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
