Good morning! How are we faithing? Looks like around here a break in the heat is underway. The heat causes so many problems besides just the electrical grid. Peoples thinking gets weird. Patience runs thin. Besides just dehydration and fatigue we deal with these former things. It very important that we keep tabs on ourselves when in stressful times like the last couple weeks of heat have produced. I've watched situations that under other weather conditions were dealt with wisely but when the heat got turned up they turned into disasters. Not blaming the weather for bad judgement but it is interesting how the bad ones ramp up in hot weather. Other stresses can contribute to unwise reactions and actions by us also. I know when I am real tired, things that normally are no big deal irritate the snot out of me. When I am hungry or lonely or feel neglected, simple things take on a more sinister meaning. We as believers must be careful of the enemies attacks on our weaknesses. Our own insecurities can innocent things become something they are not. That stress get overwhelming really quick. Take care of yourself. Don't let yourself become too tired, too lonely or unforgiving because you open a door for the enemy to attack and before you know it you're in deep where it was shallow.
Jas 3:13-17
Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him show his works by his good behavior, in meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and contention in your heart, do not boast and lie against the truth. This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, beastly, devilish. For where jealousy and contention are, there is confusion and every foul deed. But the wisdom from above is firstly truly pure, then peaceable, forbearing, yielding, full of mercy and of good fruits, not partial and not pretended.
Gal 5:13 For, brothers, you were called to freedom. Only do not use the freedom for an opening to the flesh. But through love serve one another. For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Lev. 19:18 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you are not consumed by one another.
