This past Sabbath my PH (Pastor Husband) mentioned the fruits of the Spirit in his sermon. He said that for mid-week prayer meetings at church they encourage everyone to pick a specific fruit of the Spirit and for the next month practice that fruit of the Spirit and to pray for this to grow. That got me thinking which fruit of the Spirit would I like to pray for and practice this month. The first one that came to my mind and seem to stick was self-control. How fitting, I thought! This would tie nicely in with my goal of disciplining myself in my appetite, time management and relationships (God and men). So for the next month, I will be praying and practicing self-control. With Him beside me, I'm hopeful that it will be a month filled with many challenges but also sweet victories! :)
Treasure of the day...
"For we are saved by hope; but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it."
Romans 8:24-25
trust HIS heart
"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." ...For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9,10
~God is enough for me... for my problems, my pain, my hurt and my desires. When I am afraid or worried or self-condemning, I will remember WHO sustains me! God is sufficient! So I will lay my burdens, flaws, needs, guilt, anger, frustration, fear, disappointments and desires on His shoulders and trust His heart!!!~
"God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind, So when you don't understand, When you don't see His plan, When you can't trace His hand, Trust His heart" ~Babbie Mason
“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” ~Robert Collier
