I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.  Ephesians 4:1-3

 

In this fast paced, technologically advanced society, it can be difficult to keep a calm, steady, humble spirit. The stresses people work under are oftentimes extreme which puts one in an emotional state, quick to temper and looking out for number 1. If this is you, it’s time to reset your spirit.

 

Today’s passage provides the foundation for every child of God in the way they should live on a day-to-day basis. A common phrase I recall growing up was “live by the book”. The standards set forth in God’s word are there not to hinder your life, but to help you maintain that Christ like attitude, temperament and dealings with people. Its purpose is to yield a fruitful Christian and to keep them steady in their faith. Jesus Christ lived it, experienced the same pressures and temptations you face and He never wavered in His pursuit of a reverent life.

 

I encourage you to write down today’s scripture or simply screen shot it and keep it handy to refer to throughout the day. Whenever you have a decision to make, reference the scripture and heed it’s advice so you’ll make the right choice, that brings honor to God. Have a blessed day!
