Repent Of Wrong Assumptions

 

This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.Isaiah 30:15

 

Have you ever had wrong assumptions of someone and you didn’t go to the person and check it out but instead started an email or text stream? It happens and the enemy loves it cause he loves division and he loves those who can be on verge of scorching something with their tongue of fire.

 

Repentance is necessary before you can clearly move on in life. Our brain is a gift from God and quite amazing and through it we think, reason, problem solve, and speak. Speaking should be done with much thought. If you have ever been on the receiving end of a tongue lashing it is painful. And indeed may you never be guilty of hurting another.

 

You can’t possibly know what another person is thinking so reject wrong thinking. If you struggle with this area too, work on keeping your mind focused on other things. God is your best friend. He won’t ‘rat’ you out to others or condemn you. Don’t run to the phone but run to the ‘throne’.

 

PRAYER: Lord I thank you for my kind and I thank you for blessing me with gift of speaking. Guide me to use my gifts in the right way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
