Proverbs 25:28
Excerpted from: Simplifying Life (Part Four)We can define haste as quickness, hurry, or overeagerness to act. Rashness is unwise haste, recklessness, or a response without caution or responsible deliberation. Satan often sets a trap to get us moving too quickly to catch us in an un-prayerful and unguarded moment. Proverbs 25:28 warns us that “Whoever has no rule over our own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls.” The Amplified edition adds the additional cogent details: “Like a city that is broken down and without walls [leaving it unprotected] is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble.” This caution recalls a previous warning in Proverbs 4:23, admonishing us to “keep [our] heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” When we do not put on the brakes on our impulsive tongue, we will say unloving things which we will later regret.
