Steady Temperature

March 3
Easy come, easy go, but steady diligence pays off.
Proverbs 13:11

Driving home from Augusta, GA, on Sunday, we had quite a day. We stopped to see friends in South Carolina, then headed north east through North Carolina to intercept a couple grandchildren and bring them home to Virginia.  So, a 7AM departure and 4PM arrival had an interesting documentation on our car's external thermometer. The temperature remained 34 degrees for over 8 hours throughout travel in four states!  Steady as she goes for sure!

Today, I thought back to being amazed as I glanced at that consistent temperature in varying terrain and precipitation. Hmm?  If only my reactions to life looked that consistent.  Always trusting in the Lord, no matter the storms that blow in or the mountains that have to be climbed. If my eyes are looking towards Christ my temperament should always remain the same…peaceful, trusting, kind.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:7

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32
