I spoke this weekend at church.  It was a fun and great time and it was actually the first time I got to work with three friends.  It was a lot of fun.  Now, the topic was anger and the scripture was from proverbs 16:32.  In this time of sharing with the children I came to realize that God speaks to us in the same way.  He constantly says we need to be like children and have faith like they do.  What that means to me is that a simple lesson designed for kids, well, we are  all his kids, we can learn from it as well.  I can think about my past and the many times I had no self control and then look at myself today and how I managed to let God be a part, I mean truly be apart of the storms in my life.  It didn’t make the storm any less vicious, but the damage was minimal, because ultimately it was left in his hands.  God has shown me through wisdom, that reacting or fighting fire with fire is not the way to go, and even if in human eyes, where they say stand, we must in Gods eyes submit to his foundations.  Anything we try and build will be BROKEN…However, our self-control is not really ours, when we decide to have some, it means we have finally surrendered our hearts and decisions to Christ.  I understand this doesn’t happen in every situation, because we human and have a sinful nature within us, but if we choose to be more obedient in our daily walks, we will see an increase in our self-control.  SELAH!
