Pit Fall…
Recently, I was in a pit of anxiety and fear.
It usually hits when I am least expecting it.
If you have ever struggled with fear and/or anxiety, you know what I am talking about. If you have never struggled with it, please keep reading. More than likely someone you know is struggling, or you may face it one day.
What are you seeking?
Sitting at a table filled to the rim with friends, we began talking about a new remedy on the market. A new fad that is a cure all for everything! It promises life changing benefits, in just two tablespoons a day!
I had never heard of this thing and frantically, I began to google it and look for where I could find it.
Maybe THIS is what I have been missing. Maybe THIS is the answer to all of my needs.
How many times have I been in this situation? Looking, always looking for something more. Something better. Something to improve my health and prolong my days.
The gift of gab…
Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3
There is an old childhood song that most of us can recite…
“Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”
This song cannot be further from the truth.
God’s Word, being our ultimate Truth, actually teaches us completely opposite to those very lyrics.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
— psalm 143:8
