Week 17

Scripture:

Practice God’s law – get a reputation for wisdom.  Proverbs 28:7


Devotional:

The Book of Proverbs tells us that self-control and patience are very good things to have. But for most of us, self-control and patience can also be very hard things to learn.  Are you having trouble being patient? Are you having trouble slowing down long enough to think before you act? If so, remember that self-control takes practice and lots of it, so keep trying.  If you make a mistake, it’s okay.  Just try again, and ask God for help to do better.  Remember every mistake you make is only another opportunity to practice.

 

Family Questions:

  • 1.       What does self-control mean?
  • 2.       Where in your life could you work on self-control?

Prayer:

Dear God, thank You for helping me control myself and be patient so I can succeed.  Amen.
