Dear faithful readers, I would like to talk about "When Trouble Comes, refuse to lose your temper, use bad language or complain"!
From the book of Romans 12:12, it says "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."
Yes we do know being joyful in hope and faithful in prayer. How about patient in affliction?
Before I begin, I would like to share with you. I'm sure many of you played computer games before, and hearing other people swearing isn't rare. But when you play a game and lose the round, ever noticed what comes out from your mouth? Are there words that sparkles a flame in the forest?
For many people, when trouble comes their way, the only words that comes out from their mouth are swearing words! And most of the time they don't even realize that! That's how bad it can be! For some cases, when they are going through a rough time in their life, they lose their temper and strike down whoever they see with deadly words! The most common of all is complaining! Everybody has complained at least once in our lives! Yes we are humans and we do complain during a hard day, but the Bible teaches us that we should be patient in affliction and cast all our disappointments, complains and difficulties to Him!
Here's an extra reminder for you, from the book of Philippians 4:6-7, it says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition , with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Well, I encourage you that when trouble comes, refuse to lose your temper, use bad language or complain! =)
