Today I am thankful for: my sweet hubby, my precious kiddos (they let me rest all day because I don't feel well; they never complained!), NOT throwing up today!, not having to go to work (I'm blessed to be home!)
I'm thankful for the wise words of Solomon. I'm also grateful that I have understanding of my own depravity and God's sovereignty and holiness. Help me to be humble, Lord! I love being before Him in silence. I'm glad for Eccl. 5:2 "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." As humans we talk too much; we often come before God and speak to Him in a relentless manner of praise and supplication. While we need to speak to Him, there are times that I believe our silence is more welcome. We need not be afraid of standing in the presence of our Lord with hearts full of praise, sorrow, quandary, or a combination of emotions; yet trusting that He knows our need we remain silent with our lips allowing our hearts to cry out and to hear His reply. I love to sing His praises, but one thing I look forward to most is being in heaven before my Creator and my Savior just sitting in genuine awe of the presence of God.
Lord, let my words be few! Let me not ensnare myself with too much talking and promises I can't keep. Help me to remain silent as I listen for Your Spirit to guide me, as I wait on You. Help me to listen more and speak less!
