Walking into the presence of God. His Holy place. The local church. I must check my heart. I am not stepping into a classroom or entering some ordinary social gathering. I am entering into his Holy presence, and only worthy to do so by the sacrifice he made. I'm listening.
Be careful what you do when you go to the temple of God;
draw near to listen rather than to offer a sacrifice like fools,
for they do not realize that they are doing wrong.
Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God,
for God is in heaven and you are on earth!
Therefore, let your words be few.
