" Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil. 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few. 3 For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool's voice is known by his many words" ECCLESIASTES 5:1-3

At times I am guilty of saying almost anything that comes to mind to God when I am angry. It is true that he is our father and we should feel comfortable with God. This does not mean that we can say anything we want no matter how mad we are. GOD IS GOD. Just as we should have respect for our mother or father there should be the up most reverence for the lord. Honor given to our God! who is the most high. I am guilty at times of being so angry that I let my emotions run wild. I forget that I am talking to the creator of all things. We can never allow ourselves to bring God down to our level. The bible clearly states that his ways are above our ways. "So as heaven is above so is our GOD".The lord walks in back and in the front of us. GOD knows our past just as he knows our future. The very hairs on your head are numbered. We should not get so complacent and unconcerned that we lack respect. I give honor to the Holy Spirit for guiding and directing me. I give honor to Jesus for loving me enough to send a comforter to direct my paths . Most importantly I give honor and love to God who loves me enough to send his son to die for my filthy sins. This verse tells us to be ready to hear and be not rash with your mouth.The lord tells us that a fool is known by a multitude of words. To bite my toungue from experience is hard to do. As we pray to the father we can ask for strength and for wisdom to fight certain battles. We should also pray for wisdom to know when to leave them alone. I thank God for the truth that is in the word. I thank God for the delight that I find in the midnight our just thanking him and telling him how much I love him. Are all my bills paid "No". I could list a thousand complaints as to why I should walk around stressed out but when I think about the one reason to give GOD the ultimate praise it out weighs all the complaints. THE ONE REASON IS JESUS!
