Keeping Your Word
“It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it.” Ecclesiastes 5:5
How important is your word to you? When you say you will do something, do you follow through with it? Can others rely on your word?
Here is some wisdom this week concerning choosing your words carefully and not making empty promises that you cannot keep. It would be better if you kept quiet and only spoke with intent and thoughtfulness. This practice can help you in a multitude of ways. For one, you won’t be bogged down with trying to keep up with everything you have promised. Also, others will view you as reliable and will consider your words important, because there will be fewer of them.
Practice this week speaking with intent and not putting so much on your plate, that you are not able to fulfill your commitments. Love you all!
