Who’s Leading Whom?

We live in a society that is made up of different ethnicities, religions and people who model different moral standings. It’s not uncommon to be in the company of someone who haven’t been taught the things your parents taught you. So when someone around you pushes your buttons consider the source and don’t allow your emotions to take the lead.

Don’t let your spirit rush to be angry, for anger abides in the heart of fools. Ecclesiastes 7:9

We must get to a place where we learn to manage our emotions. Our Scripture reference encourages us to do just that; do not allow negative emotions to lead you. Anytime we’re faced with an altercation or a situation looks unfavorable, take a moment and PAUSE.

Pray to your heavenly Father
Ask Him for guidance
Use the wisdom imparted
Seek the opportunity to use that wisdom
Expect an amicable outcome

Remember, it takes two elements to start a fire! Don’t be one of them!
