When is that last time you reacted to someone else’s actions? There have been times that my reaction to a situation was not the best action. Not only did I embarrass myself, but also let down the Lord whom I am to honor and serve. Yes, at times people do stupid things. Their actions should not move us to also do things that we will cause embarrassment to our Lord. That wonderful old hymn, Take it to the Lord in Prayer, is a great way to handle any situation.
Proverbs 3:5-7 (NIV) 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.
