Every time I read or hear of all the turmoil going on in our country, it makes me mad. I get perturbed when I see people protesting an injustice that really isn’t one. I get angry when I see people promoting a lie that others believe and begin to act on it. It frustrates me to see evil becoming popular deceiving many, especially young children. Then I think, how foolish of me to allow myself to get worked up over all of this. It’s not Heaven. It’s not home. It’s only temporary. It won’t last. Yes, there is something I can do about it, other than getting upset about it. I can preach the Good News to others. I can share the Answer to life’s biggest question with everyone (Jesus). I can focus my attention on Jesus, the Author of life. Whenever I find myself starting to argue with fools, becoming foolish myself, I turn my eyes upward, reminding myself Who is in control. It’s the only thing I know to do that works in resetting my focus. And it does wonders to my blood pressure. What do you do when you find yourself stressing over worldly issues?
4 Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are.
