Are you keeping quiet?

The story that I heard sometime back came into my mind recently.

It was about two prominent leaders who went on a fishing trip one day.

Both leaders let down their lines in their own territory side of the boat.

At the end of the fishing session, one leader caught some fish but the other did not.

The one who caught some fish happened to be the leader of a group of people who speaks up about their situations in their organisation.

The other who caught nothing happened to a leader of a group of people who do not speak up whatever they are going through. The fishes, like the people, do not open their mouths and hence they are not caught.

Just for laugh.

The devil is very happy when God's children keep quiet to God about their struggles, try to put up a front and they do their best not to worry. Instead they vent their frustrations on their loved ones, short-temperedness, impatience, rudeness, etc.

The way not to worry is to go to God in prayer about our worries, never mind if we are long-winded, until we receive the release in our spirit that we have fully handed the matter over to the Lord.

And we will find that breakthrough is indeed within a matter of days.

Philippians 4
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
