Job 6:24 ” Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.”

We need to not only be mindful of the words we speak in the Presence of God, but to others…and that especially goes for making promises we know will never be fulfilled. Ecclesiastes 5:2 warns us, “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.” So, our posture before God should be that of listener…desiring to be instructed and guided. Our passion focused on understanding, insight, and discernment…not aimless ramblings of our own. For the thoughts of the heart are expressed in the words of the mouth…and ignorant words just show how spiritually weak we are and end up harming rather than healing others.
