As believers, our response to situations is critical. The
enemy is always looking for a way to set a trap to trip us up. His goal is to
discredit us and in doing so discredit the God we serve. This is why we must
set a watch at our mouth and keep the doors of lips manned at all times. How we
respond matters!
A gentle answer turns
away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1
Today’s text reminds us of that very truth. A gentle
response will diffuse a situation, but if we respond angrily, we will be met
with anger. It is important that we learn to manage our emotions and exercise
self control. Self control is one of the fruit
of the spirit and proves to be a very important one for me in particular.
When you feel your temperature boiling, take a moment before you respond. Also,
when you respond, always remember who you’re representing! Someone is always
looking at how we react, especially God!
