Have you ever had a bad habit, something in your life you knew you needed to quit or get rid of but couldn't seem to shake? Mine was putting up with drivers who had no business being on the road. "That so-in-so better drive it or park it. Why don't they either give up their license or go back to driver's training school. Where did they get their license anyway, Walmart?"

Ecclesiastes 7:9 declares, "Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry; for anger rests in the bosom of fools." Ouch! How quick we are to get angry at others when we ourselves can be just a guilty in other areas. The Lord really convicted me of this. Personally, I would rather not have anger rest in my bosom (spirit). We are to be a light in a dark world, the salt of the earth. How can we be light and salt if we have anger in our spirit.

The old saying goes, "It's better to keep quiet while people wonder who's the fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." What rests in your bosom?

Can we walk without fear while in the midst of the fire?

Thousands of people anxiously watched as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, hands tied securely behind their backs, were led down a long wooden-planked ramp into a large earthen oven. Flames shot out of the oven, so intense, the soldiers standing near the opening were overtaken by the immense heat and collapsed.

I watched the three young men joyfully walk toward the fiery furnace. A bounce in their steps, they praised God as they went. Without hesitation, the brave young zealots sprang into the blazing inferno, seemingly elated to suffer for their Master. Instantly, Jesus appeared alongside them in the towering hellhole.
"Adventures with Abba"

Isaiah 43:1-3
Fear not, for I have redeemed you, I have called you by name; you are Mine. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you, for I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

No matter what you're facing, Jesus, your Conquering King, is doing battle for you. Nothing is too great or small for Him to be concerned. As you come to Him with childlike faith, you can rejoice and walk in victory. You can trust Him. Your King has already won the battle. Now walk in the victory He has provided.
