Guard Your Words

Guard your words and walk your talk… 

 Perhaps it’s different for you and I hope it is, but I spent many years reacting to emotions and allowing words fueled by fear, insecurity, and pride to escape from my mouth before sensibility, reason, and wisdom had a chance to respond. 

My failure to control my words led to all sorts of situations where I had to amend, apologize, and suffer the consequences. 

When I finally learned to respond rather than react, I found not only less stress and chaos in my life, but also learned that this is where the Holy Spirit in us can speak into our hearts and show us not only the words we should use but also the actions we need to back these words. 

 Are you reacting or responding?..

Lord, thank you for the reminder that while small, our tongue is mighty and we must watch our words, AMEN.

“Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way. We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches.” James 3: 2-5

Where Does Fear Come From?

So where does fear come from?.. 

 Fear is one of those 4 letter words that cause discomfort and pain. 

It’s interesting to me to see the power this word has over our lives. 

Now perhaps it’s different for you, but my experience has shown me that when this 4 letter word enters into my thoughts if left unchecked and unchallenged, it can cause all sorts of troubles for me and those around me. 

Over the years I have learned that the best way for me to deal with fear is to track it to its source. 

More often than not that source is me and my attitudes, perceptions, and insecurities. 

When I am able to see that the fear is not real but based on my own making, then I am able to give the fear to God in exchange for His grace, guidance, and love. 

How are you handling your fears?..

“We ask Him to remove our fear and direct our attention to what He would have us be.” Big Book pg. 68.

Lord, let us give you our fears in exchange for your guidance, grace, and love, AMEN. 

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7
