WISDOM COMES FROM GOD...
A "weak day" is when we don't believe we have purpose or value.
God's truth says WE ARE VALUABLE and OUR LIVES HAVE MEANING AND PURPOSE.
Our thoughts should line up with a Holy God who made us & has a perfect plan or our life!
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK!
Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think!
Romans 12:2

Losing My Temper

A temper is "a thing" that comes alive at the most bizarre times.

Have you ever watched someone lose their temper?

Can you remember how it feels when you lose yours?

I'm talking about...WORDS again. Proverbs says says the fewer the better, control your words, keep your mouth shut, remain calm.

A couple of these Proverbs below talk about staying calm when you are insulted or being wronged. In other words, when you being mistreated, how do you behave? I may think I have a "right" to get mad, a "right" to react, or at least defend myself when am being mistreated, but guess what? I don't. When I do, I am considered a fool. So my past is very foolish and my future will be too if I don't learn something from this!

If you don't open your mouth--your temper-- "that thing that comes alive" can't be "let out". 


I sure do have a long way to go!
