HATORADE
Someone asked an angry friend "did you, like, drink some Hatorade today?" Right away I was all over that word.
What a funny question. This is precisely the way slang funny words are created today. We all know Gatorade was invented with the idea that it is a high performance drink that absorbs quickly into your body to give you energy to activate your muscles.
If there was a drink called Hatorade after drinking it would absorb quickly into your soul then cause you to spew hate out your mouth. Spewing words is an age old problem. The proverbial To Talk without Thinking will always get you into trouble. We often catch ourselves saying "it is so hard at times to watch what we say."
A binding exchange of promises with God should help us to watch what we say but not always. Nobody is perfect!
If we have any conscious then perhaps we feel like Paul when he said "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do."
If your saying "It is hard at times doing good", I concur with you. You reply fast to a friend and end up saying things wrong or you got hurt and you just want to hurt them back. Can you identify with that?
But the good news is that we have a God that can help us stay away from Hatorade. Just pray!
Father in heaven I have trouble at times doing good. I ask you to give me the strength to say and do the right things. Thanks for listening. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
