Keep your foot out of your mouth...

"In quietness and comfort shall be your strength..." Isaiah 30:15

This scripture applies more to my life than any other. When the bills are more than the cash inflow, or when someone is attacking my character, or the doctors report isn't what i wanted to hear, or most of all, when my children are making wrong choices I have a choice to make - i can either complain and make things worse or i can be quiet and confident knowing that God already knew what was going to happen in my life and He has a plan to deliver me.

God has always got my back, if i let Him. When i don't choose to be quiet and trust Him, but instead let fear and anger rule my thoughts that's what is going to come out of my mouth. "...I believe, therefore I speak.." When I react to discouraging situations with a negative attitude, the situation is only going to get worse and there is nothing God can do to help me.  We take the control away from God and put it in our own hands and then wonder why things aren't getting better.

So if you find yourself in circumstances that produce anger and fear, and you don't know something positive to say - Be Quiet and trust in God! He will in fact deliver you, bring you through with more than you had before.....if you keep your foot out of your mouth!
