A FOOL VENTS


Proverbs 29:11 (NKJV) 11 A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.
     Being heard is not always the answer, we often need to wait and consider the source of the intrusion, it is probable that God is bringing into the life of the believer new insight to grow on. Wait, you are thinking there are things that must be answered imeaditely, they cannot be left undone, maybe they need to marinate before they are ready to consume?
     Have you ever encountered an explosive person, the trigger on their fuse is set off by a hair, there seems to be little control in their emotions? A woman hit a car and threw the door open to scream at the other driver, "Why don't you people look where your going, your the forth car I hit today!
     A prisoner recently complained, I didn't do it they just caught me! There seems to be a ready defense for any occasion when we explode, "It's not my fault," really, then allowing ourselves to spew volcanic ash all over others is ok?
    The scripture teaches we are to be in control of our emotions, a person out of control, is one not under the influence of the God of creation. What does that mean? We who have tusted Jesus Christ with our lives and made Him our Savior, have agreed to the contract signed in His blood, that we belong to Him. A contract signed by God will not be broken by Him, so who is doing the breaking? The person who vents is called a fool for good reason, he has no reason, the servant of God who waits on God will always be called wise. Who is in control you or God?
Heavenly Father, let all that occurs today remind me that You are in charge and nothing can touch me without Your permission. Let me respond with kind words that will point others to You. Amen
