Relentless Devotion from Rhea Relentless

Every family -- big or small -- has secrets.  Generally, we don't want those secrets revealed.

But from the Bible we learn that it's not our lineage that really matters.  Even Jesus came from a line of very interesting characters.

As we learn more about God's word, we learn how many triumphed over family history.  

Today's reading is from Hebrews 2:11 (NIV), "Jesus is not ashamed to call [us] brothers." (and sisters :) )

My mother used to say, "Your mouth will get you into a world of trouble."  Like many things my mother said, she was right.   

How should we govern our speech?  Certainly, the Bible provides direction in this area (many times over).

In God's Word we learn more about what to say, what not to say, and when to say something. 

Today's reading is from Matthew 26:73 (NKJV), "Your speech betrays you."

Why can't we have what we want when we want it?

First of all, God is NOT a genie!

Second, we may not be prepared for what we say we want. We may need to grow into our request.

In His Word we learn more about His love us, His protection, and His promise that all things work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28).

Today's reading is from Matthew 25:23 (NIV), "You have been faithful with  few things; I will put you in charge of many things."

We all get annoyed and even mad and even completely ticked off at times.  But even the throes of anger we must be careful how we express ourselves.  The Apostle Paul said, "Be angry and sin not . . ." (Ephesians 4:26).  This means we can be annoyed, be angry, be completely ticked off, yes.  But we cannot curse out the world (even though sometimes . . . oh boy!).

Challenged in this area?  Learn more about God.  Trust Him more.  Build your faith by deep diving into His Word.  Silence your fear of stepping out of that comfort zone.
