“When he met three guests, Abraham said that he was going to bring
them a snack, but he brought them a feast. Abraham is a man who says little and
does much.”
One of life’s mysteries I find is that the more I say, the less
chances of accomplishing it. This story of Abraham provides food for thought. He
could have said that he would bring a bunch of food but did not do so. Can we
think he was dishonest? Not really. Abraham is a role model for the humanity
and I believe that the trait he displayed here is something God wants us to
emulate; say little and do much.
I do not know what the relationship between saying and acting, but there
must be a close relationship between two domains; when I speak little, it gets me easier to act. Often because of this I limit
my commitment, since when I say a lot, it is highly likely that I may not be
able to keep it. However I should not be confused this with limiting myself in pushing
to see how much potential I really have.
