Well, howdy there, y’all! Let’s chew the fat about them Bible quotes about drama. Yep, the Good Book, it ain’t just about preachin’ and prayin’, it’s got some good sense for everyday livin’ too, even when folks get to stirrin’ up trouble like a hen in a dust bath.
Ya know, the Bible, it’s plum full of words about how to deal with them drama queens and kings. It’s like this, some folks just love to gossip and fight, more than a pig loves mud. But the Bible, it tells ya to steer clear of that mess.
Stayin’ Away from the Fire Starters
Proverbs 29:22, it says somethin’ like, “A mad fella, he just stirs up trouble, and a hothead, well, he’s just askin’ for trouble.” See? The Good Book’s tellin’ ya straight up, them angry folks, they ain’t nothin’ but trouble. Best to keep your distance, like you would from a skunk.
And then there’s Proverbs 11:12 and 13:3. They talk about folks who “hold their tongues.” That’s what ya want, the quiet ones, the ones who think before they blab. Not them loudmouths who just spew nonsense and get everyone riled up.
- Proverbs 29:22: “An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered person commits many sins.”
- Proverbs 11:12: It’s better to be around them who hold their tongues.
- Proverbs 13:3: He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
Shutting Down the Gossip Mill
Now, gossip, that’s another thing the Bible warns ya about. Romans 1:29 and 2 Corinthians 12:20, they both say gossip is bad news. It ain’t just idle chatter, it’s poison, plain and simple. It comes from a mean heart, a heart that ain’t right with God.
And then there’s them busybodies, the ones always pokin’ their noses where they don’t belong. 1 Timothy 5:13 and 2 Thessalonians 3:11, they tell ya to watch out for them. They’re always talkin’ about things they shouldn’t, stirrin’ up trouble where there ain’t none.
Proverbs 16:28 says, “A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.” That’s the truth, ain’t it? Gossips, they just tear folks apart.
Walkin’ Away from the Mess
Sometimes, the best thing to do is just walk away. Proverbs 11:9, it says somethin’ like, with their mouths, the wicked destroy their neighbors, but with knowledge, the righteous escapes. Smart folks, they get outta there before things get ugly. They don’t stick around for the fireworks.
Keeping the Peace
The Bible, it ain’t just about avoidin’ drama, it’s about makin’ peace too. Matthew 5:9, it says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” That’s what we should all be aimin’ for, tryin’ to smooth things over, not makin’ ’em worse.
Proverbs 17:14 says, “Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.” See? Stop that fight before it even starts. Don’t let it get outta hand like a wildfire.
God Don’t Like Trouble Makers
You know, the Bible even says that God don’t like folks who stir up trouble. There’s a verse that talks about how God hates people who cause conflict in the community. It’s one of the things He hates most, seems like. So, if you’re always causin’ trouble, you’re on thin ice with the Almighty.
The seventh and last abomination to God’s soul: “a person who stirs up conflict in the community.” That’s pretty strong words, ain’t it? God, He wants us to get along, to love each other, not be fightin’ all the time.
Focusin’ on the Good Stuff
Instead of gettin’ caught up in all that drama, the Bible tells ya to focus on the good stuff. Philippians 4:8, it says to think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Fill your mind with good things, and there ain’t no room for drama.
James 4:1 says, “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?” See? A lot of times, the problem ain’t other folks, it’s us. It’s our own selfish desires that get us into trouble.
So, there you have it. The Bible, it’s got a whole lot to say about drama. It tells ya to stay away from angry folks, shut down the gossip, walk away from the mess, make peace, and focus on the good stuff. It ain’t always easy, but it’s the right thing to do. And if you follow the Good Book’s advice, you’ll have a whole lot less drama in your life, that’s for sure.
Romans 12:18 says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” We gotta do our part to keep the peace, ya hear? We can’t control what other folks do, but we can control ourselves.
Well, I reckon that’s about enough preachin’ for one day. Just remember, the Bible, it ain’t just for Sundays. It’s got good advice for every day of the week, even when it comes to dealin’ with them drama llamas. So, go on now, and try to live a peaceful life, ya hear?
