Beware of your thoughts. They can become words at any moment. – W. C. Brumby
Jephthah’s rashly spoken vow to God cost him his only daughter in sacrifice. OUCH!
Alarm clocks, car alarms, emergency sirens, screams, etc. These are all unexpected noises beyond our control that invade our mind and our inner peace. How much more so injurious are words from our mouths that hurt, maim, and tear down others. If it is true we speak from our hearts, we should be very careful what we feed it and we should “capture every thought” and make it subject it to Jesus before we act on it. Circumstances and situations will arise today that may upset our peace or plans, for that is the enemies goal. Ours is to live, love, and speak for Christ.
Until Monday…..
Pastor Botts
“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” – Colossians 4:5-6
P.S. - Don't forget to set your clocks BACK 1-hour this Saturday night as we shift to Daylight Savings Time. It should also aid us all in getting to our Sunday School Devotional at 9AM this Sunday.
