Anger resides in the lap of fools
One day because of certain happenings in my home, I was very irritated and angry.
Not only that, a patient had come and troubled me no end. Not able to find anyone to vent my anger, I poured a part of it on my wife and children.
One of the ways that God's speaks to man is through nature. And the Holy Spirit thought this was an appropriate occasion to speak to me in an unusual way.
In to my room flew a wasp and in its desperation to get out of the room, started stinging everything it touched. Enraged, as it was, it did not stop at anything.
Quickly and silently the Holy Spirit spoke,
"Aren't you like that wasp? Stinging anything and everything (anyone) for no fault of theirs? Before Satan gets a foothold, spit out your anger."
That counsel put out the fire in me in just a moment.
Sometimes we are like Jonah the prophet. When God asked him, "Have you any right to be angry?"
He said, "I do, I am angry enough to die." Foolish; one may think! But that was his answer.
Moral
The Great Preacher Solomon says; do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools. (Ecclesiastes 7:9)
Mediating on these words will make us meeker in our ways I guess.

I am the God of Abraham
It was a time of fresh spiritual lows in my life. Many distressing situations coming one after the other.One night I just woke up and instead of praying or praising God, I just sat on my bed, thinking of all the problems in my life. I just sat brooding, feeling sad, contemplating the situations. It must have been quite a while, but then I heard the unmistakable voice of my Saviour Jesus speaking clearly to me saying, "I am the God of Abraham." It startled me and I sat upright thinking that there was more to come from the Lord, as He often speaks to me, but this night, it was just those few words, "I am the God of Abraham"
That set my mind thinking. Surely and truly, Jesus was involved in all my problems as He was with Abraham's. Abraham had quite a few spiritual lows in his life (not fully trusting God and taking Hagar as wife and all the ensuing problems, telling Pharaoh in Egypt and Abimelech in Gerar that Sarah was his sister to escape death at their hands, being left with a desert land when Lot chose the plain of Jordan[to name a few])
Yet God was with him through all things, never leaving him nor forsaking him. By telling me that He is the God of Abraham, God was affirming the truth to me once again that as He was with Abraham, so He was with me.
And to you who read this, be assured that you are not alone in your daily struggles; your Lord Jesus is with you. He says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love."

Worthless Words
"God, I don't think you really care for me,"
I said ,as I woke up one morning after seeing a horrible dream.
I had just preached my first sermon the other day (April 1994) and was waiting expectantly for my next venture for the Lord.
Well, I don't know just how the words came out, but I believe it must be just as Jesus said, "Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." (Matthew 12:34)
I didn't think about the matter much until late that afternoon when I happened to stroll into my room and felt like picking up the Bible and reading it at random.
And the words just jumped out at me and hit me like a hammer inside.
It said "Therefore this is what the Lord says, "If you repent, I will restore you ,that you may serve me, if you utter worthy, not worthless words, you will be my spokesman." (Jeremiah 15:19)
The words really sank in and right there made me confess my worthless words that morning.I believe God immediately forgave (as His Word says).
But it was only a long time later that I got to preach my 2nd sermon. And justly too. It was not God's fault that I saw a horrible dream that night.
In Proverbs 29:20 we read "Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than him."I had spoken in haste allright and probably faced the penalty.
Moral
The Great Preacher Solomon says, "Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God." God is in heaven and you are on earth so let your words be few. (Ecclesiastes 5:2)
