COT:

Talked about 9/11 & how would we live today differently if we knew it would be our last.

But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.””

COT:
Reading through Proverbs recently and it’s humbling. It’s really a manual for everyone and it challenges our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. It really encompasses every aspect of our lives and just how much of it we offer to God.

I was reminded about anger and what that does to a man. What that does to ME! There’s a lot of anger out there and it’s very easy to let that seep into you. I don’t watch the news anymore. I used to watch it religiously and then I just realized that it was making me…angry. And, there was very little, if anything, I could do about any of it. I can feel the tension in the world around me, today.

How do we respond? There are over 900 verses in Proverbs. Here are two:

1. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. That’s 10:12.
2. The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult. 12:16

Which one of these do we represent? Are we snapping back at others to expose and tear them down or are we seeking to put them in a better light? Tim Keller said that “anger is energy released to defend something you love. When you are in a dispute, stop releasing your anger against the other person in order to defend your ego. Release your energy against the problem (not the person) that is dividing you.”

So my challenge today is to step away from the tv. Take a breathe! If we claim to be followers of Jesus, then we shouldn’t look like everyone else. You don’t have to compromise your beliefs to bite your tongue, offer kindness and show love to someone you disagree with. And when you do that, who gets the glory? It’s not you.
