Ecclesiastes 5

"...let your words be few." This phrase in verse 2 can virtually stand alone as an attribute for believers. when we consider it in the context of the writings it grows in the value of its meaning. We need to allow God to speak more often then we speak. His words are always just. When he speaks it is appropriate to say that all of creation listens and heeds his words. We need to follow suit. If we keep our words few we will be less likely to create a situation where we will challege God's position of authority by our words. We will also avoid the tempation to boast of our accomplishments and will leave room to give God the credit that he deserves.
It took me about 3 minutes to read this chapter.
