Psalms 73:21-26
When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before you.
Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit.
— Romans 8:9
We show who is in control of our lives by the way we live! Our actions and behaviour should be like that of Christ. So let's live under the control of the Spirit -- obeying the Word and following the Spirit's lead -- so we can show and share Jesus in what we say and do!
Prayer: Dear Father, please help the beauty, grace, and holiness of Jesus to be seen in me. May my life show the fruit of the Holy Spirit in all I do today and every day and lead me in the way I should go. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
