Start Time: 5:49 AM

End Time: 6:00 AM

Title: Stop Gossip

Scriptures: Proverbs 26:20

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing Day with Jesus!  Proverbs 26:20 says...

When you run out of wood, the fire goes out; when the gossip ends, the quarrel dies down.

This verse reminds me of one that I read not long ago.  It says, "Gossip ends when it reaches a wise man" And this verse tells us that when the gossip ends the quarrel dies down like a fire going out because it ran out of wood.  A wise man knows when to put more wood on the fire and when not to and so we ought to realize that we are not to add more wood to a blazing fire of gossip around, especially when this gossip causes quarrel, arguments, hate, fight, etc.  The only way to stop the fighting is to end the gossip.  So stop spreading the gossip or sharing it to someone else; control the desire to share rumors without proof or better yet, just control the desire to share things especially when another person is involve. Be a wise man and stop adding wood to the fire.

Happy Monday!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for this reminder.  Thank You for giving me the strength to control my tongue.  Give me wisdom Lord to never add more wood to the fire of gossip.  Help me to be wise and have self control and not start a fire or make it big.  Remind me Lord that this tongue is to be used for Your glory and not the destruction of someone else.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
