“Watch your step when you enter God’s house.
Enter to learn.
That’s far better than mindlessly offering a sacrifice, doing more harm than good.
Don’t shoot off your mouth, or speak before you think.
Don’t be too quick to tell God what you think he wants to hear.
God’s in charge, not you–the less you speak, the better.”
Ecclesiastes 5:1-2 (The Message)
Simple, to the point, and timely reminders (for me anyway) that he is God and I am not. His plan is best, and mine is not. My words need to be authentic, well-placed, and thoughtful.
Lots to chew on this week.
“Don’t be too quick to tell God what you think he wants to hear.”
I really like these words. It is so easy to tell God what I’m “supposed” to tell Him.
Being authentic in all our communication–even with God–is a challenge for all of us.
Glad you stopped by today!

I’ve been wondering how you’re doing, and how the settling in is going. Looking for a post from you.
We’re settling in. It’s been slightly stressful, but I’m maintaining my sanity I think. 🙂 Good to hear from you!

Love this. Yes, I think I needed this reminder, too.
