Guard My Mouth!



King David said, "Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord..."(Ps 141:3).

Choose your words wisely. Don't let emotions control your tongue, especially anger. You will benefit greatly from speaking the right words at the right time.


Personal note: This is a piece of wisdom that many of us have found to be true. Nevertheless, we have not always followed it. Something we should remember when dealing with others. You might consider cutting a little slack for others that let their mouth run before engaging their brain. Pastor Jim, Alias Bear Truth

Don't Play the Button Game

What are your buttons? What are those sensitive areas of your life that when exposed instantaneously ignites a response? What are those buttons that get an immediate knee-jerk reaction when pushed? Everyone has a few; and they are usually obvious to others, especially those close to us. When conflicts or disagreements occur, you can be assured that buttons will get pushed.

Don’t play the button pushing game on others and don’t allow others to play the game with you. The game never produces a winner and builds walls that are difficult to tear down. Resolve conflict and disagreements by disconnecting the sensitivity wire that connects to your emotions and resist the temptation to push the other person’s button. You will be surprised at how even the biggest disagreements can be resolved.  Share 

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. (Proverbs 25:28)

Chill

Chill! The Bible says a quick tempered man is like a city with no protective walls (see Proverbs 25:28). When a person loses his or her temper, they let their emotions control them; and they let their guard down. The devil has a great time with anyone who allows their emotions to control their actions. Before you blow up, take a deep breath and say a quick pray - then chill! You'll be surprised at how much better things will be. Share 

"I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself." -Max Lucado

Temper, Temper

The down fall of many a person has been their temper. The Bible says: Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools (Eccl 7:9). Be wise and control your temper. Share


A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back. -Proverbs 29:11 ESV
