YOUTH NEWS
OH! The Drama… A very good friend of mine recently told me that there is a certain coworker who is always stirring up trouble and dissention in the workplace. I bet you know a person like this too; maybe co-worker, boss or family member. I’ve often wondered why some folks like to share their misery with others. It can be very damaging to be around someone who always brings us down! There is probably one of these in every person’s life. I call them by title - The Drama Queen! BEWARE THE DRAMA QUEEN (or King). They will exhaust you! In this conversation I had with my friend, I began to wonder if the Bible had any wisdom about these folks. Now I didn’t find the term “drama queen” in the scriptures (haha) but I did find some scriptures that deal with the spirit of the issue. Here are some excerpts from Proverbs 6:12-19 which I believe deal with the issue of people who love to stir up trouble. The Bible speaks plainly and very unfavorably about the idea of dissension… A scoundrel and a villain who goes about with a corrupt mouth (ouch)…who plots evil with deceit in his heart- he always stirs up dissension…he will suddenly be destroyed-without remedy… There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies, and a man who stirs up dissention among brothers. Proverbs 10:12 states that the remedy for dissension is love and Proverbs 15:18 says that the patient man can calm a quarrel with a dissenter. Beware the drama queen! They love to ruin your days, but if you keep on loving them patiently maybe they will realize that there is a better way to live!! -Lyle
