Proverbs 14:29 CSB
A patient person shows great understanding, but a quick-tempered one promotes foolishness.
Sunday morning is our ministry of serving in the nursery. Cecilia is the Nursery Coordinator.
One of my jobs is to stand in the entrance of the hall of the nursery and to politely request to see the parents pick up tag for their children at the end of service.
We use this method for several reasons, congestion: to restrict the number of people in the hall for children safety, to reduce confusion with volunteers verifying the numbers on the pick up tag to the child’s tag and if we have a “runaway” child they are easier to control.
But one dad doesn’t like this method and he gave us grief several weeks ago. When I asked this Sunday to see his tag he stopped to retrieve it and the expression on his face was one of a person about to blow his stack. As he was leaving he started to say something but then said something of the effect, never mind. Cecilia witnessed the incident and told me if he says anything to you refer him to her.
Later the man came back and apologized. He said he was sorry for his reaction.
The Holy Spirit’s Job is to convict us of sin as stated in John 16.
John 16:8 “And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;”
It’s important when the Holy Spirit convicts us the we follow His leading. Conviction can also be forgiving someone who has sinned against you.
Mark 11:25 BSB “And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well."
Is there sin in your life that He has convicted you about?
Have you not forgiven someone? Be careful and don’t let bitterness find root in your heart.
Today’s lesson, repent and forgive!
Blessings, David
