Scripture for Today

VERSE: And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you weresealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rageand anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. -- Ephesians 4:30-31 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Ephesians+4:30-31

THOUGHT: Don't make God's Spirit sad! But how do we do that? By harboringbitterness, unleashing anger driven rage, fighting with others andslandering their name while plotting to harm them. These things arethe exact opposite of the qualities the Spirit is seeking toproduce in our lives (Galatians 5:22-23). No wonder it makes himsad!

PRAYER: Almighty Father, please make me more like Jesus by the power ofyour Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/todaysverse.cgi?day=20080430
