“Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few… And a fool’s voice is known by his many words” (Ecclesiastes 5:2, 3, NKJV).
God takes a dim view of the tendency to open one’s mouth carelessly and speak foolishness. If we don’t use godly wisdom in what we say, we can sin with our words.

“A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back” (Proverbs 29:11, NKJV).
Sometimes it’s better to say nothing than to say the wrong thing and make a situation worse. There’s great wisdom in knowing when to keep quiet.

“Despise the word, will you? Then you’ll pay the price and it won’t be pretty! But the one who honors the Father’s holy instructions will be rewarded” (Proverbs 13:13, TPT).
We live in an environment that hates God’s Word and refuses to accept it, which is why believers are to live in the world without becoming part of it. What pleases Him is when we live by His instructions, which are based on His law of love.

“He himself carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we would be dead to sin and live for righteousness. Our instant healing flowed from his wounding” (1 Peter 2:24, TPT).
The sin that originated in the garden of Eden blocked man’s access to heaven and opened the door for sickness and death. Jesus gave His life to restore what had been lost; faith in what He did immediately restores our spirits.

“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His” (Hebrews 4:9, 10, NKJV).
Unlike the unsaved, believers can rest from laboring through their own efforts to earn what Jesus has already accomplished. It’s a relief knowing that we don’t have to depend on ourselves for everything we need in life. By faith, His finished works have made it all available to us.

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
Jesus went to the cross not only to take away all our sins, but also all our ailments, sickness, and disease. He willingly shed His blood and sacrificed Himself so we could enjoy perfect health and a sound mind.
