There is
something really annoying about dogs.
(OK, there are lot of annoying things about dogs – LOL! But this one is at the top.)
When ONE dog
starts barking in a neighborhood, ALL dogs have to start barking as well. It is a chain reaction. Since I can’t ask my dog why he must do that
every single time, I have to assume he just wants to put in his “two cents” and
“let his voice be heard”.
Is the
barking over an important matter like the house is burning down – “Homeowner,
get out!” Yeah, I highly doubt it. I assume it is more like, “Hey, there is a
person walking by my house!” And EVERY
dog has to comment on it. Super
annoying.
But, you
know, many times, we are like those dumb dogs.
I’m guilty! The second someone
says something…Bam! We are in there
putting in our opinion…whether needed or necessary.
It’s a hard
habit to break. And one that definitely
needs the help of the Word of God. A
great verse that will help is this:
Psalms
141:3 “Set a watch, O Lord, before my
mouth, keep the door of my lips.” I
imagine that if we really and truly let only the words that the Lord wants to
come out of our mouth…we will probably be doing well. And most likely not saying whatever pops into
our head every three seconds.
With whom
are you perhaps struggling with? Your
husband, a co-worker, a mother in law, a neighbor. Are you looking at them thinking – You are so
annoying! Why do you have to comment on
every single issue? Or maybe, like
myself, do you need to look at yourself and say, Am I saying things I shouldn’t? Maybe I am the one starting the chain
reaction. Hmmm.
So today’s
challenge is: Use Psalms 141 to help you
control your mouth. Memorize it and keep
it in front of you. Make it your goal to
set a watch before your mouth today.
Will you
take the challenge?
