He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
Proverbs 16:32 NKJV
Who do you think of as the most powerful man or woman in the world? There are certainly a lot of people vying for it at the moment, and it's only going to get worse.
People’s thoughts generally turn to world leaders or the wealthiest, and the responses are almost as varied as the number of people you ask. However, according to Scripture, it’s the one who, in his weakness, finds his strength in an unseen God (unseen by the world), or the one who rules his own spirit, or the one who controls his tongue.
Doesn’t that seem simple enough to do? Are we that powerful? The Truth is - apart from God, it's impossible.
Prayer:
Father,
We submit our will to Yours. We want to live Your will for our lives. Help us, Lord. By Your Grace, cause us to be mighty for You. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen
