Stand In Awe



As I read and study Ecclesiastes, I have come to one conclusion. This book understands me better than I understand it.

Ecclesiastes 5:2 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.

This verse hits home with me. I'm so quick to run my mouth to God, but it is within the inner stillness that He speaks to me most clearly. It is there, alone with Him, that He becomes so real in my inner spirit. It is there that I "see" Him transform my perception of his word. It is in that stillness that I sense and know his presence. This is where He interacts with me deepening my convictions through his word and spirit. So why do I insist on dominating the conversation?
