Through patience a rulercan be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone. Proverbs 25:15 Why is it we think that the force of our words wield victory? It is the motive of our words that w break the bank. And the motive must be patience and mildness to hear others out, and wait for the occasion to present. Patience ~ Bear the heat of the conversation, without becoming heated up and wait for an opportunity. Mildness - Speak softly, mildly, humbly. No lightning words which can't even pierce the skin. Soft words melt the flesh. Through patience and a gentle tongue. The plumb line of the Word of God is the most important measure in your life. Proverbs 25:28 says: "Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control." This text paints the picture of the state of our society when the walls are compromised. Defenseless. It is a metaphor of human nature as it is today; human nature as it can be in Christ; and human nature as it will be in heaven. Whatever the cost. I pray that we will all be controlled by self-control. The right way. Defend that city of your soul.
We put ourselves forward
Cause we are curved inward.
We covet, we need what we see.
We hold, won't let go, let things be.
What steals your peace
and lets your city doors fling open?
A robbery in broad daylight.
We won't give up our things, our plans.
Let us give up ourselves to the Holy God.
Let us ask Him for Col 1:29.

This day, something or someone will steal my peace? It should never be but my struggle is not with flesh and blood but with powers of this world. May we give ourselves over to You from the first flutter of the opening eye to the closing of the same. It is the Energy of Christ that is so powerfully at work in each one of us. Come, Lord Jesus, be our Peace and Power causing us to walk in Your Word.
PHOTO: A desolate spot way out far where no one lives. No walls to this city. It's the spot in the road where I fainted last summer and spent 1 1/2 hours laying at this crossroad before I was rescued. When we're not prepared, not giving ourselves up to God, thieves steal and destroy.
