The last week or so I have been really trying to listen to the Lord and hear what He has for me this new year. The two words that keep coming to mind are Responsibility and Accountability. I have way more to expand on those two things but today, I am going to start with Accountability.
One of these aspects is reading my Bible and memorizing Scripture. I have been teaching memory verses to my kids this year and it has been great for me too! The Holy Spirit laid James 1:19 on my heart for my first verse of the year. It is " This we know brethren, be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger" (NASB)
There is a lot of responsibility on my shoulders. I am a wife, mother, daughter, teacher, care giver, and the list goes on and on. I have found myself, as of late, having a very short fuse. I am easily irritated and I can see my poor attitude spill over into the lives of those closest to me. Even as I type this my children are fighting with each other and it all boils down to someone is being impatient with the other.
I plan to meditate on this verse in the morning and hope that the Holy Spirit will use it to remind me as my day goes on.
