Let My Words Be Few

by TerryLema

I just looked at the bottom of the Word document where I write my devotions and what caught my attention was that fact that since I began this second half of the year’s devotions on July 1, I have written 28,489 words. Make that 28,496 words now …. That’s a lot of words! And that is only since July 1! There were 59,274 from January 1 through June 30. Wow.

In church, we sing a song written by Matt Redmond, “Let My Words Be Few.” It begins this way, “You are God in heaven / And here am I on earth / So I’ll let my words be few / Jesus I am so in love with You.”

That beginning verse comes from 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.” [NIV]

I think I will take that good advice and today let my words be few. And I can’t think of any better words to utter today than…

Jesus, I am so in love with You.
