Day 28 – Steer Clear of Emotional Reactions

“He who is slow to anger is better and more honorable than the mighty [soldier], And he who rules and controls his own spirit, than he who captures a city.” Proverbs 16:32

Oh, how glad we are that the old is gone and the new has come! Far away is the old creature that needed to be involved, needed to have the last say, could not sit on the side-line in the fear of looking weak… The new creation is here, one with self-control and wisdom, standing back to see the picture unfold and then becoming the one which Jesus spoke when saying blessed are the makers of peace…

Prayer: How great is Your work in us to do according to Your will, Lord, to understand that what is happening before our eyes is not the whole picture and being able to wait in stillness for the whole truth to be revealed. Through this You maintain our peace and allow us to bring You into the atmosphere, resulting in victory for the Light. Thank you that You have chosen, prepared and planted us for this reason, we are ever grateful to You. In Jesus name. Amen
