Words

What words and thoughts will I use today?  Will my thoughts glorify God or will they tear someone down?

As I lay awake for an hour before my alarm went off my thoughts were consumed by work and the frustrations I’m facing.  I tried turning my mind to God but would find myself having a heated conversation with one of the executives at work in my mind.  Such a waste of sleeping time!  Nothing resolved.  Nothing gained.  And I step out into the day exhausted.

So, now my mind turns to God’s peace and His Word for it is His Word which comforts and guides.

Ps 116:1-2 I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.  Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on HI’m as long as I live.  (NIV)
