Take a Second

July 30, 2024--Take a Second And.....                            

by Spencer Pinekenstein    

Think before you act. Most of the time we don't, and it ends up being to our detriment. Our emotions should always follow our thought. Not the other way around. When we base our actions on how we feel, rather than sound thinking, we find ourselves in situations God never meant for us to be in, even though we feel in the moment that we are right. Following Christ means paying attention to yourself. Not being selfish mind you, but being self aware. There is a big difference. We aim to be a people of action, not reaction. Ask yourself if what your doing is a product of a reaction to an emotion you are feeling, of if it is an action based on good reasoning and healthy thinking. Every hour, minute, and second we are all caught between a tug of the two. Choose wisely. Think before you act, and it will bode well for you.
