I know a man who prefers to use smaller, more concise sentences to express himself. I listen to every word. I know others who keep talking as if they love to hear the sound of their voice. Guess what … they many times lose me.

Solomon said it this way … “The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?” [Ecc. 6:11]

David commented that they may think, “With our tongue will we prevail.” [Ps. 12:4]

Jesus said we would give account of every idle word.

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, teach me to be an accurate, effective communicator. Help me realize how meaningless too much talk is.
