Have you ever wanted to shoosh someone? You know, just shoosh 'em already? Me too! On most occasions, the better side of our judgment keeps us from issuing the shoosh we wish we could, but when it comes to the nasty, fiery arrows, the Enemy heaves our way, quieting them with the truth of Scripture is our best defense. We know there is no shame or condemnation from the voice of Christ. When we experience shame, we know it's not the Truth-teller. It's the Father of Lies. Shoosh him! The next time shameful accusations come knocking on your door, shut them down. Speak these truths out loud and watch how quickly they quench that fiery chatter!
