“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV)

Temperance means “self-control” * The Blue Jay is “not hogging it all.”

Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica) by Nikhil Devasar
Bar-tailed Godwit’s Self – Control.. ~ by a j mithra
With the help of satellite tracking,
researchers found that,
Bar-tailed Godwits made
the longest non-stop flight
of any bird…
A female bar-tailed Godwit,
flew nonstop for eight days
and covered 7,242 miles
from Alaska to New Zealand….
These birds use
the air’s low pressure
to help them migrate
and they take advantage
of the 500 to 800 miles
of strong tailwinds
of the low pressure..
Many a time,
when we face low pressure
in life,
all along our life’s journey….
All because,
we don’t have the
fruit of self-control..
We also fail to realize that the low pressure
is the launching pad
on our quest to top…
Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica) by Ian
Look at the price this little bird had paid
to do what no one else could do!
during her journey..
GOD paid a priceless price
for all our sins..
But,
what price are we going to pay
to reach our destiny?
Do we have that self-control,
GOD IS IN NEED OF PEOPLE TO STAND AT THE GAP
AND PLEAD FOR ALL THOSE DYING SOULS..
HELLOOOOO….
IS ANYONE LISTENING?
And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they [do it] to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. (1Corinthians 9:25 (A S V))
Have a blessed day!
