WHAT ABOUT MY ANGER?

 

 

Psalm 4:4

 

"Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent." ESV

 

It is so easy to act and speak when we are angry and emotional. This is part of our fallen nature. It is far better for us to give ourselves time to think about why we are feeling angry and then listen to the Holy Spirit in our hearts. He will counsel us to do the right and honorable thing if we are serving Christ. Many sins and heartaches have been avoided by heeding this wisdom.

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us for allowing our emotions to take control of our speech and actions. Give us the fullness of Your Holy Spirit so that we will stop and listen to the right way to respond and bring You honor and glory. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

SHHHHH! GOD IS

Habakkuk 2:20

"The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him." NIV

"But the Lord is in His holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before Him." KJV

Where is God's temple? His temple is where He is and He is omnipresent, meaning He is everywhere and there is no place where He is not. There is no power or authority that can stand before Him and question His majesty and holiness. The whole earth sits as one who cannot speak because the greatness of God Almighty is true throughout eternity. Isn't it critical that we take time to acknowledge our God, His presence, and His glory? If our time doesn't allow us to be still before Him in worship, we need to rearrange our schedules.

Heavenly Father, we recognize You as the Supreme Creator and Authority over all. We humbly stand in Your presence and praise You with our whole being. Help us to walk worthy before You and be obedient to You. In the name of Jesus' we pray, Amen.

SHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Let your mind cause the world around you to be quiet. Stop thinking about tomorrow. Stop thinking about your illness. Stop thinking about family issues. Stop thinking about you job or lack thereof. Stop thinking about your finances. Stop thinking about what you have, don't have, or want to have. Think only on God and His power, His love, His grace, and His mercy. This is the greatest spiritual exercise there is. It benefits not only your mind, but your spirit and body as well.

Read Psalm 46:10a

"Be still, and know that I am God;....." (NIV)

"Be still, and know that I am God:..... (KJV)
