Rash With Thy Mouth

Read Ecclesiastes 5-8

Ecclesiastes 5:2 "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."

The verse talks about speaking rash words, but eating on impulse is also to be avoided. Sometimes our hunger drives us to eat anything we can find to eat.

Other times our cravings become irresistible and we can hardly keep ourselves from eating things we will be sorry for. There are any number of reasons why we might be tempted to eat rashly.

But if we can get into the habit of setting the timer before acting on temptation, we may be able to resist. Sometimes waiting our impulse out means the difference between victory and doing something we regret.
