Hold Your Tongue

I came across an interesting article today with the following excerpt:, which I think is the solution to my friend's problem. I hope he would ponder over the article....

Proverbs 18:21 in the New Living Translation says: "Those who love to talk will experience the consequences, for the tongue can kill or nourish life."

The devil's words have no power....until he gets you to agree with them.

That's right. You know it's true. The enemy can plant an evil thought in your mind like, "I ought to just get a divorce!" The thought alone has no power. It is only a thought. It is what you do with the thought that will determine if the enemy gets any glory from it. If you do as the Word says and "cast it down", it will not accomplish anything for the devil. But - if you hold on to that thought for awhile and think about it seriously, it will start to gain some ground. It is still only a thought though - but if it travels from your mind to your mouth - now we have serious trouble!

For the solution read on....

No More Salty?

Reading what a friend blogged recently made me realized that I am no longer being the 'salt' in his life.

Why? Unknowingly, I have not been updating this blog for exactly 4 months since my last update.

How have I been? No problem.... and that's the problem. When I have 'no problem' I stopped reflecting, stopped sharing my feelings and thoughts, stopped letting God's word speak to me, no more inspiration to write and has stopped making any difference to no one's life. :( I still go to church every Sunday, though.

Yes, that's what happened to people too. When they have 'no problem' they think that they don't need God.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

I have been immersing my life, my thoughts and feeling with work since then. I have no time to reflect about life or think about others. Maybe that's one way to forget the past and move on with my life. It's a pity that my friend is stuck in his pasts, and can't seem to move past them. I feel sad for him and pray that he can move on soon.

God is always good, always seeing me through each storm of life. Yes, I must give thanks to Him and I hope my friend will too. I will try to reflect more and be inspired to write something that can encourage others.
