We take a lot for granted: the roof over our heads, a healthy body, teachers and an education that trains us for our future. We go about our day forgetting to be grateful for these small things. And, we do the same for the big blessings in our lives. But, Jesus expects us to be thankful for all He provides us.
God made you beautiful, inside and out, and the Fruit of the Spirit is one way that reflects the inner beauty God gave you. In Proverbs 31:10-31, there’s an example of an amazing woman, inside and out. She displays the Fruit of the Spirit in her daily life.
The word “humility” is one that the church throws around a lot. Since we live in an ego-centric and catty world, it’s a characteristic that our society doesn’t deem as important. Therefore it’s very difficult to even know what humility is and how to be humble.
In church, I hear about finding rest through quiet time, prayer, reading the Bible and worship. But I rarely hear anything about why I sleep so much.
Adventure can be a thrill or a nightmare. But, when God is with us in the adventure, He will bring us peace, comfort and strength to endure. He wants us to experience a sense of accomplishment as we reflect on how He uses and grows us in that adventure.
