Have I mentioned before how much I'm loving these Beth Moore Bible Studies?? LOL.
The last Beth Moore video we watched was on being a wise woman. The wise woman...
...Is a former fool - Proverbs 26:11, Proverbs 22:15, Proverbs 15:5
...exercises patience - Proverbs 14:29. Proverbs 29:11, Proverbs 14:16-17
... is not easily annoyed - Proverbs 12:16
... makes amends - Proverbs 14:9
... knows that God's way is life's ultimate way - Proverbs 19:3, Proverbs 19.8
So, truth be told, Beth was going through the first part of her message, and nothing was hitting home for me. In fact, I was thinking about some women who'd I'd encountered in recent weeks that were acting as fools. LOL.
And then, Beth got to her third point. The wise woman is not easily annoyed. And had scripture to back it up! YIKES!
Am I an easily annoyed person you may ask? Yes, yes I am.
You know what Beth had to say about the person who is easily annoyed? That it is a character flaw in me, not that of the person who I am being annoyed by!
Since watching that video, I've really, really (and man is it hard sometimes!!!) been trying to remind myself when I find myself annoyed at someone, that it's me that has the problem, and not them. It's been tough. But I am finding myself just a little bit more accepting.
