I'm lost this morning, with no real direction. It seems yesterday I was doing a great job blogging in my head. I think I need to carry a notebook with me. I'm picking a verse and going from there, new tactic to attack my blogject. I could feel the enemy hiding in the corners waiting for me to skip today. Pushing aside any work God has done to bring my marriage closer.
Ephesians 4:26 "In your anger do not sin" (NIV) When we really think about that verse, which has been on my heart many days in the past few months, how many of us can say we are so aware of our anger, tempers, words, we do not fall into sin? Certainly not me. Recently I have been more aware. I am able to listen to God's voice, hearing scripture from His Word leading me down the right path. The path, in the end, I am able to glorify our Father. The verse continues on and 4:27 instructs us to, "...not give the devil a foothold." (NIV) How incredibly easy it is to let the enemy in. He slithers into the cracks of our hearts, infecting any pangs of doubt and covering our wounds in salt. Thankfully, wonderously, the Holy Spirit is there, pouring Itself over the wounds in a moments notice. God truly is the Great Physician.
So easy it is to fall into sin during anger. In the beginning of this blogject, I was worried about what I was going to do with my anger? Why do we have anger? Am I never going to be angry again? There's nothing wrong with being angry. Anger is a God given feeling. How we choose to deal with our anger is what God cares about. With all things we need to glorify our Father. I am learning with God I am able to better deal. Though I cannot tame my evil tongue, I can utilize my tongue to pray and ask for help. God is providing. God is showing me a mere glimpse of a "new me". I have liked what I have seen. I will continue to work in our marriage with the Lord. I will not let the devil have a foothold in something so precious as my heart. I have given it to God, and God is sharing it with my husband. Praise be to God!
