“But let us not lose heart in doing good; for in due time, if we do not faint, we shall reap.”
~Galatians 6:9
So how was your week? Were you able to guard you mouth and tame your tongue? I know I struggled and so I have a jar with some money to give away. But it was a good exercise for me to pay attention to what was coming out of my mouth. I hope those of you that joined in the challenge were able to find some benefit in it.
Our precious Father, the One who loves us beyond all imaginings; the One who breathed the worlds into existence and holds them together with His Word soften our hearts to your will and direction for us. We are so weak and appreciate that you understand these things. Forgive us for wallowing in self-pity so often and complaining to others around us before we even seek your face. Help us to search out the causes for our complaint in light of You and Your truth; to take our cares and troubles to you first before seeking the counsel of men. We ask for wise counsel from godly people in our lives that we might be like iron sharpening iron. We praise you for your faithfulness to us and for the gift of a redeemed life through your Son Jesus. It is in His name that we ask these things, Amen.
For additional study on this subject I included a link to a study page online.

And just for fun, I thought I’d post a video that was humorous to end our discussion with. I really like the taped balloon on the nose…
