Get real.. (draft 2)

 Get real..

..with your world’s creator/ sustainer (shortened here to God) as well as all your world..

---

So guard your steps about the house of God. 

Go near to God to listen rather than 

to offer something God’s already got,

and foolish words will desecrate a man.

So, don’t be quick to yabber with your lips, 

or even in your heart before God’s throne

in Heaven - heart of all relationships

while you’re on Earth where many aren’t yet known..

As dreams abound with very many cares;

so many words with hot air just explode.

And if our words are ty-res  -  are they “spares”,

and wasted^ if they never hit the road?

So do not let your mouth lead you to sin. 

If God hears all, and takes you at your word,

why make things so much harder than they’ve been?

Like anxious dreams, our much speech is absurd!

Notes

‘  Tyres nowadays have a “use by” date, for they disintegrate and split etc after something like 11yrs, even if never driven on.

“Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. 2Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. 3A dream comes when there are many cares, and many words mark the speech of a fool. 4When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfil it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfil your vow. 5It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfil it. 6Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, ‘My vow was a mistake.’ Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? 7Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God” (‭Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 NIVUK‬)
