📖James 1:19 “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”
Are you just as excited about where we will stop today on our road trip with Jesus? Well, today we stop at a tree with the most beautiful fruit: Self-control. This fruit is sometimes a bit difficult to grow and even harder to share with others.
Through self-control, you have the ability to do as today’s verse says: Not to react too soon and regret it later. Self + control. We can control ourselves and instead glorify God’s goodness with our lives. Through God’s Spirit in us, He helps us with self-control so that our lives can radiate His love everywhere!
đź“Ś Self-control shows respect and love to yourself, others, and God.Â
🙏 Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for the fruit of self-control in my life. Help me to come to a standstil in testing and trying times; to rather become aware of Your Spirit’s guidance. I don’t want to move too quickly and maybe miss You in the moment. Amen.
🔥 Challenge: Complete the activity on p. 13 of the Fruit of the Spirit booklet. This collage will help you to identify where your journey with Jesus is going. Tell Him about all your plans and dreams and He will lead you on the right path!
