Bible reading: Genesis 5: 1-32
It is better to control his spirit than taking a city (Sayings 16:32).
The text of today brings a pedigree; She tells in 32 verses a summary of the life of nine men, citing the major facts of their lives. Generally, it is so that if a life: stress the great achievements, or as some like to say, highlights (highlights). As a result, we often look at life and give value only for such big occasions, disregarding the so-called common moments. But life happens at all hours of the day; each moment has to do with what comes before and after. Life is a sequence of decisions, mostly small and generally unnoticed, but all inter-dependent. Are less striking, those moments that no one will quote if one day my life is told, that make a big difference; my secret, lonely moments, it is common that define who I am and who I am determines my way to act on great opportunities. Human society places a high value on the achievements, regardless of the character of the conqueror. Appreciates the victory of an athlete that simulates and fools the judge to get a penalty. Reveal the cheating since the person win. Value-if the medals, not the selflessness of those who conquered – otherwise, the Paralympic athletes would be highly valued. So is our fallen society. But the followers of Jesus Christ are called to live a different way. The word of God teaches that mastering yourself is a major achievement. Jesus is our model of people; We were created to be like him, and self-control is one aspect of his character. The moments that define us are those in which we managed to overcome our shortcomings, approaching us from our example, Christ. The great news is that the Holy Spirit of God acts in those who surrender to Jesus to produce in them the human character that every person should have. – (MHJ)
May God be honored in our fight to conquer ourselves.
