Overcoming the Outbursts: Victory Over Self

    Though this may not hold true for all, many in the Body of Christ have attributes and traits that must be overcome. The Christian’s life is to be characterized by moral uprightness and godly character; however, there are times when old ways, habits, and traits surface.

Like Moses’ outbursts of anger in the wilderness (he broke the tablets, he called Israel “rebels), Christians have outbursts of the flesh.

And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. Ex 32:19 (KJV)

    Moses was called the meekest man on the earth, yet his outbursts of anger stopped him from entering into Canaan. Today, look at your life. Are there areas where you still have “outbursts?” If so, come to God in faith knowing that He will help you to overcome all things, even if the main thing is yourself.

Prayer of the Week
:

“I thank you for your patience with me. I trust that you will help me with overcoming areas of weakness in my life. Amen”
