Gentleness (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Gentleness                                                                              Day 88

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.

Psalm 149:4

There are countless ways that our relationship with God may be disrupted. For example, a lifestyle centered on impressing others can lead us on a path away from God. This may be more than being focused on materials such as cars, houses, clothes, shoes, etc. We may be intent on telling others about all we have done, the things we have purchased, or places where we have traveled. Our primary concern is not what God knows of our hearts but the thoughts others have of us. Thus, it is important that we conduct an occasional self-evaluation of our priorities.

Do we acknowledge that God is Lord over us? Do we aim to walk humbly? Unlike Jesus, we are imperfect. So, we will fail from time to time, but GOD takes pleasure in His people. In fact, He has preserved salvation for those who humble themselves to Him.

When we continue to acknowledge Him as the Lord of lords, we humble ourselves. When we humble ourselves to God, we will not be concerned with the impressions that others have of us. We will focus on God’s standards. If we do consider the thoughts of others, let others see that we serve and follow our Almighty God.
