| Haste |
| “Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him” (Proverbs 29:20). |
| “Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few” (Ecclesiastes 5:2). |
| Here is a short piece of poetry I came across the other day. I am not sure who the author is, but it brought to mind the above verses of Scripture, penned by Solomon, that wise king of Israel. |
| Whatever you write, |
| Though in haste or with heed, |
| Write nothing you would not |
| Like Jesus to read; |
| Whatever you say, |
| In a whisper or clear, |
| Say nothing you would not |
| Like Jesus to hear. |
| Something to really think about, isn’t it? |
