Temper 6/24 Friday faith

(This paragraph follows the story of the bad-tempered red-headed boy in Wigglesworth's article.)

I can remember the time when I used to go white with rage, and shake all over with temper.  I could hardly hold myself together.  I waited on God for ten days.  In those ten day I was being emptied out and the life of the Lord Jesus was being wrought into me.  My wife testified of the transformation that took place in my life, "I never saw such a change.  I have never been able to cook anything since that time that has not pleased him.  Nothing is too hot or too cold, everything is just right."  God must come and reign supreme in your life.  Will you let Him do it?  He can do it, and He will if you will let Him. It is no use trying to tame the "old man."  But God can deal with him.  The carnal mind will never be subjected to God, but God will bring it to the cross where it belongs, and will put in its place, the pure, the holy, the meek mind of the Master.
