What Controls You?

He who angers you controls you! Ever gotten so upset about something and after you calm down you realize how small the situation was and how it could have been handled in a different manner. Don't worry, I do it all the time and I've been thinking of some solutions to minimize this or all in all cease the opportunity to even allow myself to get so upset.

My job requires me to talk to many people on a daily basis. Some are nice, and some are very rude and even racial. I tend to get so worked up that I have to put my phone on mute and vent. As I started thinking about my frustration I realized that words truly can control someone. No matter how much u sing "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"! All I can say is that the words may not hurt you physically, but they can effect you mentally.

Therefore I'm working on reading and meditating more often. The daily devotionals really minister to me and that's why I decide to share them with you guys as much as I can. Meditating on more positive things can benefit and help you take on different things in a calmer manner. I will keep you guys posted on how this works for me. Wish me luck ;)

Take God Out of the "Emergency Only" Box!

"Daily Devotion From Joyce Meyer"

I used to spend time with God once in awhile or when my life was in big trouble. Eventually I learned that if I ever wanted to stop living from one emergency to the next, I needed to seek God every day as if I were in desperate need of Him.

It's true that God will always help us when we come to Him. But if we want constant victory, we need to take God out of our "emergency only" box and invite Him into our everyday lives.

God wants us to get personal with Him. He proves this by the fact that He lives withing us.

When Jesus died on the cross, He opened the way for us to get personal with almighty God. If God had wanted an "emergency only" relationship, He might just visit on occasion, but He certainly would not have come to take up permanent residence within us.

What an awesome thought! God is your personal friend! Will you remove Him from the "emergency only" box today?

Daily Devotional From Joyce Meyer

The Evidence of the Holy Spirit

There are too many unhappy born-again, Spirit-filled believers who don't know what it's like to remain full of the Spirit of God by acknowledging Him and pursuing His ways daily. The Holy Spirit is in them, but they don't let the evidence of it show up in their normal, day-to-day life.

It is possible to fill a glass with water without filling it to full capacity. Likewise, when we are born again we have the Holy Spirit in us, but we may not yet be totally filled and have the evidence of His power in our lives.

Acts 4:31 reports that when people were filled with the Holy Spirit, they spoke the Word of God "with freedom and boldness and courage."

It does not please God when people leave Him out of their daily lives and then follow religious formulas to try to appease Him. Instead, He wants us to live the Spirit-filled life of freedom, boldness and courage.

I urge you to let God work freely in every area of your life through the power of the Holy Spirit.
