Nice post for a Sunday. Any day, actually. And I can relate to the “big melon” comment. :-)
The Bible verses I shared proverbs 6:16ff
These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
A haughty eyes,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked schemes,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.
I’d mostly forgotten this passage, but God is perfect in His timing to fill our mouths with just the right words at just the right time, when we’ve got nothing to offer.
Pray those words, His Word, bears fruit in season.
To His glory!
