You may already be doing this…☺

Here’s something the Lord has really been helping me with over the years. Before I answer my wife (this is good for both husbands and wives), I take a minute to listen to the Holy Spirit so I can be sensitive to how He wants me to respond to Ann. It really helps to take this extra few seconds, minutes or hours to get the Holy Spirit’s perspective. It has a tendency to defuse times that could become tense, and it gives me wisdom from ABOVE. Over time, as God changes us in these important ways, our lives become much more wise, secure, calm, peaceful, enjoyable and blessed.

As always, ask the Holy Spirit (The Comforter) to remind you to do this. He’ll be faithful to help you.

And, taking this step to get the Holy Spirit’s insights can be valuable in all our other relationships as well.

But the wisdom that is from ABOVE is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 3:17

God bless,

Mark

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Psalm 91

So come on, let’s go. Let’s see what part of our salvation Jesus wants to show us today and this week. Hallelujah! What an incredible life of glory, contentment, challenges/victories and rest He’s wanting to share with us each day.

God bless each one of you, our friends.

Mark and Ann
