Omer counting day 8
Week 2 Gevurah – Discipline and Vigor:
Omer counting day 8.
Love – Discipline (the love/kindness side of discipline) Chesed – Gevurah in Hebrew.
Without disciplined love, even the energies, strength and effort we put into relationships and projects, may be spent in vain.
The fear of men and the tolerance of bad behaviours from others into someone’s life, is a lack of disciplined love in somebody’s character, because without discipline, it becomes so hard to limit other people’s bad behaviours from influencing your life .
Discipline is not a state of pride and false judgement towards others, but it’s a state of a character that is structured according to the good moral standards of God’s word.
This same character refuses to compromise its standards because of the bad behaviours of those that surround its environment.
Ask yourself:
Am I easily influenced by the opinions, ideas and expectations of other people around me, to the extent that I even neglect to do the things that God expects from me?
Exercise of the day:
Ask God to forgive you for not being faithful to His will, and ask Him to give you more grace to be able to stand up against bad influences from other people.
