Self control!


 Dearest Christ followers, we need to exercise self-control in everything.  When we use self-control, we can control what tempts us.  We can think before we act and in so doing we can show moderation and temperance.

James warns the readers of his letter to be swift to hear.  But he warns that we should be slow to speak and slow to wrath.

Using self-control helps us to listen to others without wishing to interject and assume what they are trying to tell us, but rather to listen carefully.  Then weigh up our reply and modify it if necessary.

We can ask GOD for wisdom, and HE can give us that and we can use the wisdom HE gives us to exercise more self-control.

Today let us ask our FATHER for wisdom and use freely given gift wisely!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for all that YOU are and all that YOU do for me.  FATHER, I humbly pray that YOU give me wisdom today.  I pray this in the HOLY name of JESUS CHRIST.  Amen.

Stay graciously JESUS Blessed today!
