Reactions

Leave a comment

Friends, there are many things we cannot control: the weather, everything that happens to us (for the Bible tells us time and chance happens to us all – Ecc. 9:11), and what people think about us. However, one thing we can control is how we respond to the different scenarios that come our way, especially the people part. We can choose to react with the fruit of temperance (Gal. 5:23), and we can choose to allow the Holy Spirit to guide and guard our reaction when the flesh wants to do otherwise. The Word of God encourages us: “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city” (Proverbs 16:32).

When it doesn’t go your way… be patient.

When it doesn’t fall into place as you imagined… be patient.

When it doesn’t seem fair… be patient.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

Everything that is not like God will fade away, but you who endure to the end and remain patiently in hope, will see the reward of your perseverance. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.” James 5:7
