BRAGGING RIGHTS
A meditation based upon Psalm 52
Be careful with the boasting
Once those words are out in the world
there is no taking them back
That thing that’s wagging in your head
can be alike a razor blade at times
What slips off your tongue is an indication of your priorities
You speak your value system
So, be careful when you talk about yourself
like you’re all that and a bag of chips
The Divine can quickly put you in your place
which often involves plucking you out of your comfort zone
and plopping you down into unknown territory
It might be helpful to visualize the words you’re about to say
before you say them
before someone shines a mirror on your speech
Give credit where credit is due … the Divine
If you want to thrive, green-tree thriving,
brag about how the Divine has made you what you are
Throw that name around, the Divine,
and your words will become blessings
instead of fodder for jokes
