BEHAVE!
Romans 12:12 – Devotional
Romans 12:12
“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, continue steadfast in prayer.“
I am glad I grew up in an era when kids were taught to behave. Countless times I heard that stern word — BEHAVE! I did not appreciate it at the time, but the consistent discipline of my parents helped shape me into the man I became.
Somewhere along the line I learned that I could bring joy to my parents if I would simply behave on my own. That was especially true when I was left unattended. It resulted in satisfaction for them as well as for the Lord.
As we read the words of today’s Scripture, we find instruction to help us behave regardless of where we are. In hope … we rejoice! In tribulation … we are patient! In prayer … we are steadfast.
Where are you at this moment? Wherever you are or wherever you find yourself in the future, remember Romans 12:12. We have a confidence the world can never know. It is the assurance that what God has given us by the blood of Jesus Christ gives us the power and will to BEHAVE!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
