Dead-ends and dark alleys.

”God rescued us from dead-end alleys and dark dungeons.  He’s set us up in the kingdom of the Son he loves so much, the Son who got us out of the pit were in, got rid of the sins we were doomed to keep repeating.” 

-Colossians 1:13-13 MSG

In Christ there is no darkness, no dead-ends, no dark alleys, no dungeons.  No, there is light, help, healing, joy, completeness, favor and fearlessness.  Therefore if you are seeing darkness, then somewhere along the way you lost sight of God - it’s time to turn and run to him in humility, with all fervor and haste. Open your heart to him and he will open his arms to you.  He is with you and waiting patiently for you to find him - seek him and you will see him; seek him and you will find him.

Broken promises

“And Jephath made a vow to the Lord…” 
(Judges 11:30)

Whatever promises we speak - especially in times of dire stress, anxiety, anger, and haste – be prepared to follow through; if you don’t, and you do not seek forgiveness for making such promises, then, like Jephath, you will eventually eat your words.

Hence, adhere to these very wise words, Be 
“…slow to speak…”. 
(James 1:19)

To speak or not to speak...

"Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a [self-confident] fool than for him." 

Proverbs 29:20

Think before you speak otherwise you may have to eat the words you speak!

A good way to fail

“He who guards his mouth keeps his life, but he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.” Proverbs 13:3

Wealth won in haste or unjustly or … for vain or detrimental use will dwindle away, but he who gathers little by little will increase.” 

Proverbs 13:11

Yep, a big mouth and selfish desires are two good ways to make sure you do NOT succeed in life.
