Ecclesiastes 5:1-2 ” Guard your steps when you go to the house of the God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. 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.”

We are to be very mindful of our prayers and conversations with God. For listening to Him is better than speaking, and making rash promises we’ll never keep is worse than not making vows at all. So, listen well & carefully, giving your undivided attention to God’s direction, or as Job 6:24 tells us, “Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I’ve been wrong.” Remember, the still small voice of the Holy Spirit can easily be drowned out by anyone’s incessant ramblings.
