Just say “no”

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

I say “no” all the time but never enough.

Matthew 5:36–37 (MEV): 37 *But let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these comes from the evil one.

Search out a matter before you say no. In other words make an informed decision by reviewing all the facts.

Proverbs 25:2 (MEV): 2 *It is the glory of God to conceal a thing,
but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.
