We have to be on guard to what and who we allow to influence our life.
You are the temple of the the living God and you have to be on guard as to who and what you give residence to in your temple.
We have to guard ourselves against the tendency to work for what makes us look good rather than rest in and reflect the one who is good.
You can’t fix you but you can take steps that will allow God to move in your life.
We don’t have to strive to be remembered for the good we do, we just have to remember what Jesus has already done and let the good we do come from that.
Don’t drift towards working to make yourself look good. Rest in the one who is good and let your life reflect the work He’s done in you.
No one would have to get angry at the sin in our life if we would just get angry about it ourselves.
We cannot use righteous anger as a guise for sinful anger.
The wrong response in anger can rob us of our joy and the impact that God wants to make through us.
Reflect or meet with someone to discuss:
Do you ever feel yourself being lured back into ways of living that you've tried to come out of? What do you do to safe guard yourself against that?
How careful are you of the people you allow to influence your life? What boundaries do you have in place for relationships?
Do you think you've ever been guilty of using righteous anger as a guise for sinful anger?
Has anger negatively effected your life in any way? How so?
