Chill, Bite Your Tongue

A quick-tempered person does foolish things, and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.Proverbs 14:17

What things set you off? Line jumpers?Those who leave their vehicle at gas pump and go shop? Slow restaurant service? Those who don’t listen well or hear well causing you to have to needlessly repeat? People who litter? 

No matter what the scenarios may be if you are in fact a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ you have big sandals to fill because you represent him in front of others. Underlying conditions can create outbursts and some may not be aware of their episodes. 

If you know someone like this or even live with them keep lifting them up in prayer for inner healing. Maybe something in their past caused this bad aspect of their personality.Love the Lord and live your fellow man whether they act nice or not. Remember you are a representative of Jesus in front of strangers as well as your family.

PRAYER: Jesus help me not to try to win arguments or settle disputes but to remain still and be prayerful. Let me bite my tongue when I feel like lashing out as I know angry words breed quarrels. Help me be gentle and still. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
