Right Perspective

Dear friends, I urge you as strangers and temporary residents to abstain from fleshly desires that war against you. Conduct yourselves honourably among the Gentiles, so that in a case where they speak evil against you as those who do what is evil, they will, by observing your good works, glorify God on the day of visitation. 1 Peter 2:11,12

Okay we have been told! 

We are strangers and temporary residents so don't become too attached to things in this world.

Fleshly desires wage war against us.

By living Godly lives the unbelievers will come to glorify God when He turns up in their lives, even if they have spoken evil against us.

I do myself undue grief by: 

lusting for worldy goods

Allowing fleshly desires to control me

I do myself a favour by:

Living a godly life and being self-controlled (more Spirit controlled)

Happy living!

I have been awake since 3 studying for an exam tomorrow. I have also been praying about the next step. The Lord gave me the next step whilst studying and praying. 

We had lovely rain last night, just as the drought thought it had strangled us. God is good!
