Proverbs 29
God wants me to be the "light of the world", so I must demonstrate patience, kindness, peace, etc. (fruits of the spirit).
If I am and demonstrate Jesus to others (see Romans 12:1) one would see the fruits of the Spirit:
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. James 1:19-20
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God whose love knows no bounds and who is quick to listen and slow to anger. I am thankful for such a God because I am broken and I know I often fail to be the man You intend for me - yet You love me all the same. Thank You Jesus. Please forgive me and help me overcome such sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal and cure Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help me lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and have them choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me lead and serve You, my family, the church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end. v11
God wants me to be the "light of the world", so I must demonstrate patience, kindness, peace, etc. (fruits of the spirit).
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither
do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on
its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
If I am and demonstrate Jesus to others (see Romans 12:1) one would see the fruits of the Spirit:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23
