I have a great devotion time, am at peace and dedicating my day to God, and 5 minutes later I have failed utterly. :( I am so thankful for the longsuffering of the Lord!!!Mykaela Orwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072683850161476758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659313483185971819.post-13987025951270760422017-06-03T11:51:41.306-05:002017-06-03T11:51:41.306-05:00Oh, this is so good! I was just reading through Ja...Oh, this is so good! I was just reading through James, concentrating on chapter three because of something you mentioned in your card about words having power, and your advice to use them wisely for the Lord's glory. :) The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked, and from it proceeds our thoughts and conversation. In James 3 we can read all about how the tongue, while such a small member of our bodies, is "a world of iniquity" and "defileth the whole bodies." It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison, which no man can tame." It is two faced, for from it come both blessings and cursings, both sweet praises and bitter comments. As an older sister..okay, as a bossy, sinful older sister, I am constantly amazed at how quickly my mood changes. One minute I'll be praising the Lord for His blessing me with such a big, wonderful family, comfy home, and amazing area to live in, and the next minute my siblings and parents come home, leaving all their stuff scattered across the house after I've worked so hard to tidy it. Almost immediately my heart changes directions, and my thoughts turn dark and selfish as I spew out hasty orders and bitter complaints. Instead of being "swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath" as James 1:19 commands, I rarely take the time to truly listen to my younger sisters for the amount of time that it takes for them to open their hearts and minds to me, yet I am so quick to tell them all they ought to do, generally getting angry after it doesn't get done. Then I read a post like this, or I come into contact with convicting verses, and I determine to mend my ways and start ruling my tongue. (This phase typically lasts from five minutes to one hour...soon I'll go back to my cursed hastiness.) Anyway. This truly made me stop and think! Please pray for me..how does that song go? "He's still working in me, to make me what I ought to be!" And boy,am I a work in progress!! :)Jennylynny28https://www.blogger.com/profile/18144377785379514929noreply@blogger.com
