Ephesians 1:
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
| DAY 19—Finding the Gentleness of Wisdom |
|---|
When the Lord Jesus enters a life, this can all change. The Prophet Isaiah gave a prophecy about Him—A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench…(Isaiah 42:30). This gives a prophetic picture of His gentleness toward those who are wounded. That’s all of us. We can learn from Him to be gentle toward others.
James 3:17a—But the wisdom that is from above is...gentle...
Isaiah 40:11—He shall feed His flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
DEAR LORD, please cleanse us from all pride and hardness of heart that makes us have to be right. Grant us the gentle wisdom that will help us listen to, and care about, what others have to say. Some near us need us to be gentle with them. Help us care about their hurts and to be gentle, with no judgment.
