Philippians 4:5 
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. (NIV)

Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. (CSB)

Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. (NLT)

Gentleness is a superpower. Strength disciplined and under control declares testimony to a greater source and a higher purpose. May your gentleness be evident to all. 

May your gentleness declare the empowering grace of Jesus for selfless service. May your gentleness declare the empowering grace of Jesus for self-discipline and self-control. Self-discipline leads you to take the right lead measures. Self-control leads you to flee from all temptation. 

Gentleness is a gift of God’s grace to our world. Gentle men and gentle women extend the peace of God into homes and workplaces, fields of play and fields of contest. 

Gentleness soothes. Gentleness softens. Gentleness serves. 

How do people know Jesus is real and Jesus is near? Gentleness tames wild minds and unsettled hearts. Gentleness makes us considerate. Gentleness makes us helpful. 

Wherever you go today, whatever you do, look for gentleness. Thank God for it when you see it. Extend it every chance you get. Let it broaden your every consideration. Let it deepen your heart. Let it soften your speech, guide your hands, and direct your feet. Let it open your ears to hear more than is spoken. 

Gentleness is a superpower, a superpower uncomfortable with calling attention to itself. Gentleness shifts our focus to the needs of others. (See Philippians 2:1-5 for what it looks like and how it behaves.)

I will become a gentle man.

Our Father, may your gentleness be evident to everyone we meet. Bless with an ever-increasing measure of this grace. Amen.

to forsake evil is real understanding.’”

Daily D – Job 21:1-3

Job 21:1-3 Then Job spoke again:

That’s one consolation you can give me.
Bear with me, and let me speak.
After I have spoken, you may resume mocking me.”

Daily D – Job 17:10-12

Job 17:10-12
“As for all of you, come back with a better argument,
though I still won’t find a wise man among you.
My days are over.
My hopes have disappeared.
My heart’s desires are broken.
These men say that night is day;
they claim that the darkness is light.”

Daily D – Psalm 74:16-17

Psalm 74:16, 17
Both day and night belong to you;
you made the starlight and the sun.
You set the boundaries of the earth,
and you made both summer and winter.
