Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. James 1:26
Gossip these days takes the form of not just speaking something you ‘heard’ but also sending it in a jet stream across social media. Our business should be our business I learned quickly.
Do not get into needless speculation. You don’t want to be known as a meddler or gossip do you? How would you like if half truths were circulating about you throughout your neighborhood? Not too good probably.
I had to stop myself recently as it is so easy to become part of the problem and not the solution which is to nip gossip in the bud then pray for those involved.
PRAYER: Help me not be guilty of continuing a gossip stream that only seeks to hurt people or look down on them in bad way. Help me instead to pray for anyone going through something others are gossiping about. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
