KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT
Why can’t we stop talking?
“But, God, I can’t see how we can manage financially!”
“But, God, I can’t cope with everything I have to do!”
“But, God, why do we have to continue going through this trial? It’s been too long.”
We keep on complaining and confessing our lack of trust in God. When the children of Israel faced the impossible—the sea in front of them and the Egyptians galloping behind them to wipe them out, God said: “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord . . . The Lord shall fight for you and ye shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:13-14).
In other words, God told them to keep their mouths shut! When we can’t see a way out, or we can’t think of anything positive to say, the best thing is to say nothing! Your negative words bind you to your situation.
Shut your mouth and see what God will do.
