A very wise Pastor once gave me a life-changing piece of advice, “𝕎𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕟𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕔𝕒𝕦𝕤𝕖𝕤 𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖𝕣, 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕒𝕘𝕒𝕚𝕟𝕤𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕞𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕣𝕚𝕤𝕖 𝕦𝕡 𝕚𝕟 𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕚𝕘𝕟𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟, 𝕨𝕒𝕚𝕥 𝕥𝕨𝕠 𝕕𝕒𝕪𝕤 𝕓𝕖𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕠 𝕒𝕟𝕪𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘.”
This incredible guidance has been one that has stuck with me for well over a decade and is literally the best piece of advice I have ever had. You see when I wait my anger dissipates, confusion clears, the fog of my frustration disappears and I see things so differently. 𝗠𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻.
Talk about moving in the opposite spirit, using prayer and waiting on the LORD as incredibly effective weapons in this spiritual battle that we wage every day!
Perhaps you too can take this piece of advice to heart, when next anger rises and you are ready to react – wait two days! 𝗜𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹.
