This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
We live in a fallen world and because of that many bad things have happened. Not that they can’t be redeemed because they can, but the ugliness of life can attack at times.
One of the areas affected by the fall of man are your words. Gossip, lies, half truths, verbal abuse, cursing, boasting, you name it, but the focus for today is “egg shell walking” which some of you do with certain people in your life. If you don’t have this issue in your life then you are blessed indeed.
You are very careful about what you say, when you say it and if it even should be said. Certain personality types will lash back and it is this you are trying to avoid.
The result of speaking without thinking many times is fights, broken friendships, misunderstanding, and unfriending on social media. Words are so important and they are a true gift from God to be able to verbalize things in your heart. Ultimately the goal is to be set free from the stronghold of egg shell walking and to relax and let God handle whatever it is.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus I lift up to you the stronghold of misunderstanding due to misinterpretation of words that were spoken. I pray for anyone going through this to be able to be reconciled to whoever it is they walk on egg shells because of. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
