Are you managing your emotions, or are your emotions managing you? We can't always prevent the variety of factors that affect our emotions, but we're expected to control our behavior in light of them. (Did you know that the 3 most harmful negative emotions are: anger, guilt, and fear?) Make a decision today that you'll no longer allow your feelings to control you! (For further study on this subject read Joyce Meyer's book: "Living Beyond Your Feelings.") Today's Verses: - Proverbs 25:28 ESV "A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls." - 2 Corinthians 5:7 AMP "For we walk by faith (we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk) not by sight or appearance." - 2 Timothy 1:7 AMP "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but (He has given us a spirit) of power and of love and of a calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control."
