Lent - Day 4

Lent - Day 4

This devotional is from the Living Well through Lent 015 devotional by Living Compass Faith & Wellness Ministry

II Cor 6:6-7
in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;

The New Testament reading from Ash Wednesday lists many of the core practices of an authentic Christian life. Included in the list are "...patience, kindness, holiness of spirit, genuine love" and "truthful speech." Read the passage above again slowly. Reflect on how well you are living out these core Christian practices. Is there one of these practices that you would like to enhance in your daily life? If so, which one, and what is one thing you can do to strengthen this practice?

From Duane: For me, I would like to be more patient and kind, especially in my dealings with others at work.  Being more deliberate in applying the THINK principal before opening my mouth would be great!
