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.
Ecclesiastes 5:2
One of the habits of those who we might find very difficult to love or like is that they are always talking, even when they know not what they are talking about. It really is not a characteristic that should define us as servants of the Lord, for the more we are talking, the less we are listening. There is of course a time to talk, even shout His name and word, yet we (I) must be reminded that our thoughts can only be refined if we have truly taken time to listen.
Prayer is two way communication! Ministering is listening much and speaking little with balanced, emphatic, enlightened words relayed from the Spirit. Talking without listening is nothing more than our thoughts lording over all others.
Today, take a moment before speaking to Listen to the Spirit and relay these words, which may be few, but perfectly prepared and so fit to be spoken.
Many Blessings.
Craig
