Sorry I didn't write any post for Chapters 5 & 6. The weekends tend to be a little busy around here. I did read them on their days, I just didn't do the SOAP method with them. I will do that this week (I promise). Scripture:
Do not let your heart turn to her ways
or stray into her paths.
~Proverbs 7: 25 (NIV)
Observation:
The devil is always trying to get you to follow his path. He is lurking in every corner. He wants you to get angry & say mean things.
Today, I post something on facebook. A comment back was hurtful. They started out by saying, "no offense" but I got to admit I was offended. I was hurt. I felt that they were saying I was stupid. I posted a comment back, it wasn't mean. I left it up for about an hour & then deleted the whole post.
I pulled back. I didn't post a mean comment, although in my heart I wanted to. The devil wanted me to take his path. He was egging me on and oh I felt it. The anger was building up.
But I calmly did the dishes & then did my bible study reading this reading and the Lord was speaking to me.
Application:
I will not follow the path that leads to anger or hurtful things. I will walk away & give it to the Lord.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, you know my heart right now. You know I wanted to snap back. Thank you for holding my tongue & letting go. Please help me to be strong. And in the future to turn to your words for wisdom & guidance. Thank you that what I needed was in today's reading.
In Jesus Name~ Amen.
