Because I said so

You’ll have to forgive me, I’m still not over the fact that I have my licence, so this post is still on that tip.

The last time it rained in Bethal, must have been January or so, I said out loud that it was the last time I got wet on my way to church. I was so mad, my favourite pair of shoes had been ruined in the involuntary shower I took outside. I had forgotten I said this until it rained cats, dogs and horses on Monday afternoon, literally minutes after I signed my temporary drivers licence. I was smiling like a mad woman driving to church as people were bruised and abused by the gigantic rain drops as I sat comfortably in my red Uno named Bruno. If I could stop and advice those running like headless chicken in the crazy weather, I’d say “Speak up, say something” because I’ve learnt something about the power of words.

Numbers 14:28 says “So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very things I heard you say” This sounds crazy. God says He wont do what He says, or what He wants, but what I say. Many a times we want something but speak the very opposite of it. While having a hard time with the driving thing, I always said I can’t drive, while saying I want a licence. But that was before I realized that God didn’t care so much about what I did, but what I said, so I started speaking what I wanted and He proved faithful. So since Monday I’ve been unable to keep my mouth shut because I now know just how powerful my tongue is. So what are you saying? Because things are the way they are because you said so or because you’re saying nothing at all. Speak up!
