#5 Meekness and Quietness are the most important virtues that decorates the life of a virtuous man or woman
1Pet.3:4- But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Meekness and quietness are of great value to God. It makes a person beautiful in the sight of God.

When we get ourselves filled up with our own achievements, giving little or no chance for the glory of God to be seen in us, we become proud and God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Quietness is not the attitude of not talking  in the pubic, but being still to listen to every instruction God gives without arguing or trying to add logic to it.

Ps.46:10-Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. When you are humble and quiet in spirit (you're still and not rash in making decisions) you  tend to be more beautiful in the sight of God.


#6 Laziness is not a part of the story
You can't achieve anything good by being lazy. Even eating require you putting in some efforts. And so it balls down to the spiritual aspects of our lives.

You don't pray once and sit down, expecting the Holy Spirit to pour the entire virtues into your life and then hand you a certificate for being a virtuous man or woman. It comes through hard work. The Bible says, strive to enter in. You don't sit down to fight, you must be daily claded in the armor of God to fight against  the devil. At some points it requires burning the midnight candle which the devil will try to off.

Being a virtuous person require you outgrowing the current state of your mind that is contrary to God's word and growing into the mind of Christ. Growth doesn't happen once, it takes time and needs consistency. There's no room for procrastination and sluggishness, else the devil will keep bringing you back to the same pit you are trying to leave.


PRAYER POINTS
*Dear Lord decorate my life with the virtues that makes me beautiful in your sight.
*Grow in me the virtues of a meek and quiet spirit.
*Help me to outgrow those characters contrary to your will and help me to be dilligent in my work with you.

AMEN!
