keeping emotions in check

Posted on November 5, 2012 by Jefferson Vann

baptism 1082 Kings 5

Even when God is at work among us, our emotions can hide the glory of his presence if we are not in right relationship with him.  Consider how emotions sent these three people in the wrong direction:

  1. the fear of the king of Israel (7)
  2. the pride of Naaman (11)
  3. the greed of Gehazi (19-21)

These first two men were allowed to repent and get back on track, but Gehazi’s greed affected him and his descendants after him.

LORD, help us to keep our emotions in check, and not to test your grace.
