I Need Your Help Lord

 

Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.Proverbs 19:11

Ever hear the phrase “an idle mind is the devil’s workshop”. It is actually Proverbs 16:27 which I will use today as well because just think how wasted brain cells day dreaming or throwing a pity party can you lead you into wrong thinking. 

You have to make yourself stop ‘going there’ so to speak and start reaching higher heights with your thoughts. Philippians 4:8 reminds us to think on ‘things above’. 

Wrong thinking is from the enemy. It can lead to a person doing something they later regret. Stop and be still and combat negative thinking with praise. When storm clouds envelope your thought life send them a beautiful rainbow to move them away. 

PRAYER: When situations or wrong thinking or loneliness overwhelm me Lord I choose to praise you. It’s hard but I know it is necessary. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The 24 Hour Rule

 

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:19

In this instant society where often you may get impatient waiting for anything it is hard to sometimes wait before you email or text or post on social media. Loose lips sink ships was the saying in the US Navy well in this case loose fingers ruin relationships.

I have to admit I suffer from this malady but am working on it with the help of my longtime special friend Kim.When in doubt don’t press send.

In the new year many make resolutions of things they hope to change in their life. Lose weight, find a job, listen better, talk less, zip line, go to the Holy Land, get rid of fear, and on it goes. Why not add holding your tongue as it speaks through your fingers for 24 hours cause more than likely not acting on impulse will save lots of misunderstandings. 

PRAYER: Father you blessed me with a mind sometimes too overactive. Help me have self control when it comes to communicating on devices. Help me be able to wait a day if there is any doubt I should not send something. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
