Loud Doesn’t Mean Right — Humble Yourself Before God
Scriptures: Proverbs 19, Psalms 119, Ephesians 4, Matthew 10, 2 Corinthians 4
Reflection:
Proverbs 19 warns us that selfish people can appear kind—as long as they get what they want. But the moment things don’t go their way, their true motives surface. That’s why as believers, we must examine our own hearts. Do we only act “Christian” when everything is comfortable? Or does Christ actually control our character under pressure?
If your anger is not under control, that is not a small issue—it’s a major spiritual weakness. Uncontrolled emotions make you vulnerable to Satan’s influence at any moment. Sometimes the problem is not the situation—it’s your immaturity in how you’ve been reacting. If you’re constantly “trippin,” maybe you are the problem.
Guilty people scream the loudest.
Just because you are the loudest does not mean you are the most believable. This is why God calls us to be meek, not weak — but disciplined.
Ask yourself honestly:
Is it hard for you to even have a real Christian conversation?
Do you avoid people who hold you accountable?
Do you only want friends that agree with you, not those who grow you?
You may not like to be pushed, but spiritually — you need to be pushed.
A mature Christian values relationships with believers who will lovingly correct them, not just clap for them.
Where Are You Spiritually? (Psalm 119)
What measurable changes have happened in your life since following Christ?
Are you spiritually improving, or just spiritually aging?
The older you are, the more time you’ve had to grow — what do you have to show for it?
God is calling you to urgency. Not stress — urgency. He wants you to hurry to do His will, not just hurry through life.
If your spirit is restless, maybe it’s because your Bible is closed.
And one final question:
Are your friend choices putting you at war with God?
Challenge:
Stop confusing loudness for righteousness.
Get your anger under spiritual control — immediately.
Seek out believers who will push you UP, not hype you up.
Pursue measurable growth — not emotional performances.
Let God’s Word be your rest, not your stress reliever.
