"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” —Romans 8:28
"And do not grumble, as some of them did —and were killed by the destroying angel." -1Corinthians 10:10
There have been many days that have not gone according to one's thoughtful laid out plans. You can keep your fruits of the Holy Spirit intact when you "roll with the punches".
The fruits of the Holy Spirit are: Love, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, Goodness, and Self-Control. When we let anger enter our heart for one moment, we loose all of the above fruits and are a poor witness for our LORD. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman and will not live where there is anger.
Paul said: "Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you." -Ephesians 29-32
I implore you my friends to free yourself of this bondage and the wall that is built up between you and our Father when you loose your self-control and are irritated, frustrated, or infuriated by the minor or the major. We must rely on the Holy Spirit of God to handle our detours. For He knows the plans for the day.
