12-8-14 Daily Devotional 2 Peter 1:6 (AMP) 6 And in [exercising] knowledge [develop] self-control, and in [exercising] self-control [develop] steadfastness (patience, endurance), and in [exercising] steadfastness [develop] godliness (piety), Jesus not only commanded you to not allow your heart to be troubled and afraid, He also said, (Stop allowing yourself to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimated and cowardly and unsettled) (John 14:27). You can choose not to get upset. If you are around someone whose good opinion you value, its amazing how much easier it can be to control yourself. Its much harder to stay calm when youre around people you dont have a need to impress. When you start to get upset, remember only one thing will put an end to it. You have to stop it, you must exercise self control. You have to get hold of yourself and say, No, Im not getting upset. You need to remember that everywhere you go, you are a witness for the One you serve and love. Pastor Essie Rogers
