No nagging Zone!

Wherever you may be, make it a "No Nagging Zone"!

Proverbs 27:15-16
15 A quarrelsome wife is as annoying
as constant dripping on a rainy day.

Quarrelsome nagging, a steady stream of unwanted advice, is a form of torture. People nag because they think they're not getting through, but nagging hinders communication more than it helps. When tempted to engage in this destructive habit, stop and examine your motives. Are you more concerned about yourself-getting your way, being right-than about the person you are pretending to help? If you are truly concerned about other people, think of a more effective way to get through to them. Surprise them with words of patience and love, and see what happens. www.youversion.com

Ahem...this not only applies to wives...all humans take note, you could be a nag!

 

 

Proverbs 21:2

2 People may be right in their own eyes,
but the LORD examines their heart.

 

 People can find an excuse for doing almost anything, but God looks behind the excuses to the motives of the heart. We often have to make choices in areas where the right action is difficult to discern. We can help ourselves make such decisions by trying to identify our motives first and then asking, "Would God be pleased with my real reasons for doing this?" God is not pleased when we do good deeds only to receive something in return.  www.youversion.com

 

Extremely busy day ahead, I'm sure I'm not the only one so let's have a word of encouragement and instruction from our Father. This one may make you think "Ah ha" or "Oh No". Either way, it' a good word.

Proverbs 20:3
3 Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor;
only fools insist on quarreling.

A person who is truly confident of his or her strength does not need to parade it. A truly brave person does not look for chances to prove it. A resourceful woman can find a way out of a fight. A man of endurance will avoid retaliating. Foolish people find it impossible to avoid strife. Men and women of character can. What kind of person are you? www.youversion.com
