Zip It!

And to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you. 1 Thessalonians 4:11

Sometimes things are better left unspoken, untexted, untweeted, and not posted on Facebook if you know what I mean. I feel a new area for professional counselors will not only be electronic device addiction but will be hurt and pain caused through this modern outlet. 

Keeping your thoughts on ‘things above’ as it says in Philippians 4:8 is another vital thing to do. Not feeling compelled to talk back or reply and being still. Give things to the Lord and zippy the lippy. As a friend of mine often reminds me “Facebook is not real” and it can absorb huge chunks of time if you allow it to. Discipline is for sure necessary. 

So today go out with good thoughts, kind words, love in your heart looking to the cross of Jesus Christ to guide you and sustain you knowing He is all that really matters. 

PRAYER: I thank you Lord for forgiving people who don’t take things so seriously and pray for those who get hurt too easily and wreck relationships because of being unwilling to forgive and move on. Help me Lord never be guilty of intentionally hurting anyone with words. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
