Listen Before You Speak

Jun16

This you know (know this), my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.
James 1:19-20 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.19-20.NASB1995

Continuing speaking on the subject of trials we know we must encounter them with joy (James 1:2), but we must also be quick to listen, to hear what is really being spoken, to get full understanding.
A person who talks too much gets into trouble. A wise person learns to be quiet. The more you talk, the more likely you are to sin. If you are wise, you will keep quiet for the one who controls his lips is wise. (Proverbs 10:19)
In the quiet you will be taking time to allow God through His Spirit to give you the words to speak.
So don’t allow your spirit to be provoked, causing anger to settle in you. Don’t be quick to lose your temper, for outrage is embraced by fools. (Ecclesiastes 7:9)

🌹for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.
Luke 12:12 NASB1995

Chosen To Be Kind

May15

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of kindness
Colossians 3:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12.NASB1995

Did you know that kindness is a fruit of the Spirit? As God’s chosen we have the indwelling Spirit of God residing in us. Kindness, what a gift to practice and display for the glory of God!
(Galatians 5:22 NASB1995)

Do you know Jesus? Today if you seek Jesus, you can become one of His chosen and be filled with His kindness.

Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord Until He comes to rain righteousness on you.
Hosea 10:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/hos.10.12.NASB1995

🌹Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Clothed in Preistly Righteousness

May13

. . . as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved,
Colossians 3:12a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.12.NASB1995

Believer, we are a new person, in the likeness of God. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ; be clothed in His righteousness.
Ephesians 4:24/Romans 13:14/Job 29:14

I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Isaiah 61:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.61.10.NASB1995

If you are not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and are ready to confess your need for His salvation; take a moment to ask Jesus to come into your life and lead you in the way you should go. Make a heartfelt request asking forgiveness for the sin Jesus died for you, so you may be clothed in His righteousness for eternity.
When you have done this, seek a believer and a Pastor, and tell them. Continue to seek God through the Bible, Bible Study, Church. You won’t be sorry.

🌹Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy.

Apr15

“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

Your Typical Day?

Oct23

Blessed and happy are the people who know the joyful sound [of the trumpet’s blast]!
They walk, O Lord, in the light and favor of Your countenance!

In Your name they rejoice all the day,
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.

For You are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment],
And by Your favor our horn is exalted.
