God’s in Charge, Not You

Watch your step when you enter God’s house.
    Enter to learn. That’s far better than mindlessly offering
        a sacrifice,
    Doing more harm than good.

Don’t shoot off your mouth, or speak before you think.

Overwork makes for restless sleep.
Overtalk shows you up as a fool.
