September 16, 2022 – Ps 85, Pr 14, Acts 6

All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
Proverbs 14:23

Not sure why this caught my attention. Maybe because people not doing what they say they are going to do is one of my biggest and most intense triggers. It brings out the most intense emotional response that I can have. The difference between that and a pet peeve is that a pet peeve is an annoyance and the reaction to it is similar in intensity as it is for other people. When your reaction to something is more intense than the average persons reaction then you are probably being triggered.

Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.
Proverbs 14:26 NIV

I think this scripture is to turn my focus on Christ when I am triggered.
