NOT A MUMBLIN’ WORD

" ONE LINERS FOR YOUR SOUL" & ONE A DAY

       Take these seeds of thought below and turn THEM into a wisdom tree.

 

You’re having trouble with your family? Go to the Bible and read about Joseph. If you think your job is too big for you, study the life of Moses. If you are tempted to retaliate, see how David handled this problem. If you are sick and you can’t get well you ought to look up old Job.

      The purposes of God often seem to develop slowly...you want to know why... because His grand purpose is never to be hurried.

In the 1930’s, Roland Hayes, a gifted Negro singer, stood before a hostile Nazi audience in Berlin’s Beethoven Hall. As he tried to sing, they called him every dirty name that his race had ever endured.

In telling of.the incident, he says “Resentment began to swell up inside of me. I began to feel toward them what they felt toward me, and then, for some strange reason, I remembered a sermon I heard as a little boy. The old minister standing there in the pulpit in my old home church, talking about Jesus before Pilate.

About the angry crowd and the sinsults…and how he said, “They pushed Jesus, they pushed Him real hard, but He never said a word, never a mublin’ word.”

And, remembering His love, His forgiveness, I looked out at the crowd booing, hissing, insulting, and I prayed silently, quietly, intensely.

For ten minutes they never let up. For ten minutes, I prayed not to become like them.

Then slowly, they quit and when it was quiet, I began to softly sing a song of Shubert.”

Perhaps an oyster is one of the finest examples of patience in action.

It takes an irritation and makes it a pearl.

Once, Winston Churchill, having endured a long-winded ill tempered vituperation of an angry opponent, rose at the end of the tirade and said “My honorable colleague should, by now, have trained himself not to generate more indignation than he has the capacity to hold.”

By your steadfastness and patient endurance you shall win the true life of your souls.
Luke 21: 19
