Day 15 of Taming the Tongue and Renewing the Mind
The Cynical Tongue ~ Psalm 1:1
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." A person who is cynical scorns the motives of others. Cynicism is like venom; it poisons the atmosphere wherever it is present. Resorting to it will also poison your spirit and that of others. Find one cynical employee, parishioner, or family member, and pretty soon those with weaker minds are chiming in and perpetuating the negative conversation. It can wreak hovoc on any relationship and in any environment. Most people have a negative attitude about everything. I find that distancing myself from a cynic person is the best coping strategy. As you proceed on this tongue fast, really begin to observe your comments in various settings and determine if you are being cynical or scornful. Retire from cynicism today.
(Today Affirmation:)
I am blessed because I do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly nor stand in the way of sinner nor sit in the seat of the scornful.
Be blessed this year!
