† VERSE 03

Crashing Out

Losing your composure. Emotional breakdown, often publicly.

† THE BIBLICAL TRANSLATION

Spiritual chaos in the absence of spiritual discipline. The fruit of a life uncultivated.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.

Galatians 5:22 to 23 · MIXED

† THE TURN

Self-control is not a muscle you white-knuckle into existence. Scripture calls it fruit, grown by the Spirit over time. Jesus is not waiting for you to hold it together. He holds you together.

† DO THIS TODAY

Next time you feel the surge, set a ten minute timer before you respond. Not forever. Ten minutes.

Not this week. Before you go to bed.

† PRAY THIS

Jesus, when I come apart, hold what I cannot.
