Each day I try to begin with a simple devotion in order to get my attitude off to a good start and filled with the Holy Spirit. Then, as soon as I really get going with work and other people have to get involved . . . the old attitude creeps in and before I know it, I'm not operating in the Holy Spirit . . . it's more like the "Holy Heck, I'm agitated!" Result: By noon, I'm running on empty.
Today, I am going to try a noon devotion as well to help me get through the afternoon and be fresh when our girls get home from school.
The realization is . . . I really need God's presence all day long (all the time), so the Holy Spirit can guide me in a gentle way toward others. I sometimes forget that the way I interact with others gives witness to whom I am interacting with . . .
"Holy Spirit or holy heck!"
Today, Romans 8: 9
Dear Lord,
Help hold me steadfast in your Spirit, that I may give you the glory in all my interactions with others. Thank you for your gracious love and gentle ways. Amen
