More wisdom from the wisest man that
ever lived - king Solomon.
"As you enter the house of God, keep your
ears open and your mouth shut. It is evil to
make mindless offerings to God. Don't make
rash promises, and don't be hasty in bringing
matters before God. After all, God is in heaven
and you are here on earth. So let your words
be few.
Too much activity gives you restless dreams;
too many words make you a fool. "
(Ecclesiastes 5:1 -3 NLT)
Solomon carries it even further in his book
of Proverbs;
"Too much talk leads to sin.
Be sensible and keep your mouth shut."
(Proverbs 10:19 NLT)
So, Solomon's advise is;
"Even fools are thought wise when they
keep silent; with their mouths shut,
they seem intelligent."
(Proverbs 17:28 NLT).
But more importantly than even Solomon
is God's warning about the time everyone
of us is going to stand before him in judgment.
"And I tell you this, you must give an account
on judgment day for every idle word you speak.
The words you say will either acquit you or
condemn you."
(Matthew 12:36,37 NLT).
