Our actions are our testimony

​“I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.” (Psalm 119:59)

The power of pausing before we respond or react can offer us the discipline we need to do so in a Godly manner. “Pausing gives us a chance to collect ourselves, take a breath, and get a handle on what’s happening inside us. Are we feeling angry, afraid, sad, or hurt? Pausing gives us a chance to notice these feelings—and become mindful” so that we can submit those emotions and feelings to God. 

Charles Spurgeon wrote, “Repentance originates in thinking upon our ways; it proceeds to compare them with God’s precepts, and faith prompts us to revert to the way of God’s testimonies…Surely it is time for a change. There may be some few saints among you who do not need much changing, who have gone on so well that you may pray to continue as you are; but I am not one of such myself. I am afraid that there are few who are. I pine for something better, I pant to rise higher, to climb nearer my God, to love him more, to serve him better, and to be more fully consecrated to him.”

Pausing helps us to consider our ways before we respond.
