1 Chronicles 21:1-30; Ezekiel 20:1-44; John 7:12-30
Thy gentleness hath made me great. Psalm 18:35
But the fruit of the Spirit is…gentleness. Galatians 5:22
It may seem that a hard edge is necessary to function in our cold society. But in the above Psalm, we see how God’s gentleness can be a blessing to us. David says that God’s gentleness made him great. Too often we have seen the results of harshness in families or toward others, but here we see that gentleness can result in greatness in others. God’s Word gives wise lessons in dealing with one another. Let us strive for more fruit of the Spirit in our lives, which will include the lovely gentleness of our Lord Jesus.—Mary Robins
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me,
All His wonderful passion and purity;
Oh, Thou Spirit divine, all my nature refine,
Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me.—Albert W.T. Orsborn
