Is your ship under God’s Control?—part
2
Verse seventeen of James chapter 3
states, “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without
partiality, and without hypocrisy.” Wow!
Ouch! Verse five warns, “Behold how
great a matter a little fire kindleth.”
Every time in my life that I have had
the good sense to keep my mouth shut, I have been glad later. There are four words that I have learned over
the years that have helped me. They are,
“It just doesn’t matter.” In the light
of what words do to relationships, most things really do not matter as much as
we think they do when the waves of adversity and disagreement are blowing. What
we need to do in these times is let the blessed Holy Spirit be our rudder to
help us stay out of “foot in mouth disease”.
