STOP THE SCOFFING  (Day 2 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)

How was your day of considering the concept of scoffing?

Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go away; even strife and dishonor will cease. Proverbs 22:10 AMP

I easily notice the hard, angry scoffing. It’s the sarcasm or the little humorous words said in jest that I sometimes miss.

I used to go along with the funny-ha-ha mocking of someone. It was all in fun, right? No harm done.

I hated it when it was aimed at me and I finally figured out it was not doing anyone any good. Poking fun at someone even in jest can really do damage. I’m supposed to be building up others, not tearing them down.

My biggest trial right now is, what do you do when someone goes into scoffing mode? I don’t want to go along, but It may or may not be my job to say something. I’m hoping this week to talk more with God about that one.

How has scoffing, derisive or mocking speech, played out in your life?

Look!!! Look!!! Blue skies!!!

If it weren’t still so cold, I’d be outside enjoying the sunshine. We’re heading into more snow later this week.
