Join Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr for a study on the significance of the Holy Spirit in our lives today.
Text: Acts 2
In the “then” portion of the letter, the reader will find practical application of his/her faith. For instance, if God has redeemed people through the work of the cross and resurrection, then one shouldn’t be controlled by anger (Ephesians 4:26, “Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry”.) When anger flares out towards another person, correct it immediately with an act of gentleness towards the person who made you angry. Balance the act in anger with an act in gentleness. Most fresh wounds are quickly healed with gentleness.
This week accumulate a stockpile of gentleness. Form the habit so that it becomes second nature. Then, when anger raises its ugly head, you will be able and ready to cancel it out with gentleness.
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.” – Philippians 4:6
