🙊 Please Shut Up!

A Real Talk Reminder About God’s Provision

There comes a time when we all need to hear it straight — please, shut up!

Before you get offended, stay with me. I’m not talking about silencing your voice of truth or your cry for justice — I’m talking about that voice of constant complaining that drowns out your faith.

Because let’s be honest: even in the toughest times, God’s grace and mercy are still working overtime in your life.

When Life Feels at Its Worst

Yes, the economy looks shaky. Prices keep rising. Politics are messy.

But let me ask you something — do you still have air in your lungs?

Do you still have food in your cabinets, or at least access to a food pantry?

Then, beloved, you are already blessed.

Yet, many are still complaining.

They’re shouting about what the government isn’t supplying, as if the government is their god.

Boo, let’s get this straight — the government is not your provider.

Who Is Your Source?

Is it the government who woke you up this morning?

Is it the president who gives you peace in the middle of the night?

Absolutely not.

It’s Jesus Christ — the One who provides, sustains, heals, and covers every one of your needs.

When you fix your eyes on the chaos, you’ll see nothing but problems.

But when you fix your eyes on Jesus, you’ll see provision, protection, and power.

Don’t Fall for the Distractions

Yes, the Republicans and Democrats are debating.

Yes, the news is loud and full of division.

But while the enemy is using confusion to disrupt American lives, we — the people of faith — are called to rise above it.

We don’t bow down to fear, despair, or political chaos.

We plan, we strategize, and we help our communities.

We take care of our neighbors, the widows, and the children.

That’s what God’s people do.

Rise in God’s Power

We are living in challenging times, but these are also divine opportunity times — moments for God’s strength to shine through us.

It’s time to trust God, seek His plan, and move in obedience.

No more complaining.

No more excuses.

So please, shut up — and let’s get to work!

Because your Father in Heaven is still on the throne.

It’s not the government. It’s not a political party.

It’s Jesus Christ — the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Final Thought

Gratitude shifts your atmosphere.

When you stop complaining and start thanking, heaven starts moving.

So today, hush the noise, lift your hands, and say:

“Lord, thank You for being my Provider, Sustainer, and everything in between.”

Now get out there — and make a difference.
