Read James 1:19 and Philippians 4:4.
Some weeks I search the Scriptures for a special word, specifically for areas of my life that need to be refined. During one of these weeks, the Holy Spirit gave me two contrasting areas that I need sanctification—anger and rejoicing.
Despite the years I’ve followed the Lord, I still have a short fuse when it comes to anger. And there are times where I forget to rejoice in my salvation and the work God is doing through me.
Neither of these reactions are good, and I am seeking the Lord through His Word and prayer for help in changing them. What is He calling you to refine in your life today?
Father, show us areas we need refinement and give us the will to seek changes in our lives for Your glory. Amen.
