So this friend of mine, Mandy, had a blog the other day asking for everyone to post their “Personal Theme Songs”. It was a no-brainer for me … “My Stupid Mouth” by John Mayer.

It gets me in trouble plenty. I’m stubborn, like to get the last word, strong willed, and just can’t sleep until I’ve proven I’m right (which is 100% of the time, correct?). On top of that, I have a spiritual gift called “prophecy” … when used by the Spirit, it is a strong way of exhorting, teaching, proclaiming truth, and when combined with my second highest “spiritual gift” which is “discernment”, (according to multiple “spiritual gift” tests) I will see error and speak to it and challenge it.

In the flesh, on the other hand … meaning, in my natural ability, that gift is pretty ugly. It’s overbearing, strong, arrogant, selfish, and often harsh. I’m sad to say it seems to operate more from that “tree” than the other.

So, in my daily Bible Reading I came across Proverbs 21: 23-24 … and especially loved it in the New Living Translation … check it out:

“If you keep your mouth shut, you will stay out of trouble”.

Sheez … enough said, eh?
Nice … very nice.
