Ecclesiastes · Week 4

The Reverence of Silence

Seven days in Ecclesiastes 5:1–7. We live in endless noise. We talk, we post opinions, and we work hard to make our voices heard. When we come to God, we often bring that same noise. We make big promises and treat Him like a machine that must give us what we want. God is in heaven and we are on earth. When we go to His house, our first duty is not to talk, but to listen. Jesus is the eternal Word, yet He stood silent before His judges so our sins could be washed away. We can close our mouths, open our ears, and rest with joy in His presence.

Memory · Ecclesiastes 5:2

Don't be rash with your mouth, and don't let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
