Jesus read the passage from Isaiah as an announcement of His mission.
The same Spirit who anointed Him also works in you and empowers you
to carry on His mission in the world. Sensitivity to the needs around us—
being aware of and responsive to the broken, the hurting, those trapped and
burdened—is a gift that God wants us to use to touch lives that need Him.

The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news
to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of
sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
—Luke 4:18–19

As Christ’s followers and representatives in this world, we are called
to have tender hearts of compassion. We’re called to look beyond the masks
people wear and see the struggles in every life. Our verse for today from 1
John 3 speaks of needs of worldly goods. But every person has needs that go
deeper than material possessions, even deeper than the need for food and
clothes. Jesus asks His disciples to see the needs of their brothers and sisters—
all of them, the material, the emotional, the spiritual. And then, we are not to
close our hearts to those needs, but to love as Jesus loved.

But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart
against him, how does God’s love abide in him?
—1 John 3:17 (ESV)

Jesus said the Spirit will teach us “all things,” and all of us can benefit
from the Spirit’s guidance in being more sensitive to others, especially since
we know how important this is in our relationships.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will
teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
—John 14:26

Let’s start thinking about sensitivity by focusing on the one thing we
absolutely must always be sensitive to—God’s calling on our lives. This will be
the foundation on which we build our lives. Whether that call is to a lifelong
vocation or to act, in one specific situation, as He would have us act, our ears
must always be open to hear, and our heart must be willing to respond.

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you
have received.
—Ephesians 4:1

12/21/2025

Sensitivity is about keeping your eyes, ears, and heart open. If you are
sensitive to those with whom you interact, you heed the counsel of Scripture
to keep your mind alert, paying attention to what you see and hear. Then,
your heart responds to what you’ve seen and heard. Sometimes action is
appropriate and necessary; at other times, what you see, hear, and feel will act
in you, aiding your flexibility, patience, generosity, self-awareness, and many
other desirable characteristics as a godly leader.

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be
compassionate and humble.
—1 Peter 3:8

The discipline of self-control is a life-long process. Perhaps that’s why
so many of the New Testament letters emphasize it. The first chapter of 2
Peter includes great steps to self-control. God has given us everything we
need for life and godliness. If we live by His promises, we can “participate in
the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil
desires” (2 Peter 1:4). “So make every effort to . . .” and he lists attributes we
need to work at developing, self-control being one of them. God wants us to
add those things to our lives; they have all been made available to us; we just
have to take advantage of them. At other places in his letters, Peter urges us to
be alert and watchful, on guard against the enemy who is always on the prowl.
To do that, we must have a disciplined mind.

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches
us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled,
upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the
appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
—Titus 2:11–13

When Paul wrote about the armor God provides us for the battles we
face, the Word of God is compared to a sword, the Sword of the Spirit. The
Spirit takes the Word of God and uses it to fight for us against lies the devil
whispers, against our old nature’s desires, against the messages of the world
that bombard us. The psalmist wrote that he had hidden God’s Word in his
heart as a protection against sin.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
—Ephesians 6:17

12/18/2025

You are God’s child. He lives in you and wants to help you live in control
of your life. Spirit-led self-control empowers you to stand strong in any and
all situations. Circumstances will not control you; God within will control
you. He has promised never to forsake us. We can put our trust in Him as
we learn more and more what it means to be under His control and thus be
self-controlled.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
—Proverbs 3:5–6

12/17/2025

Galatians 5:24 says that those who are in Christ have crucified the
old nature, and verse 25 speaks of walking in step with the Spirit. We aren’t
magically endowed with self-control. We read in many other verses that we
need to strive for it, disciplining our thoughts and actions. But the energy and
power to carry out this long and arduous battle is the power of the Spirit—
and that is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and will one day
resurrect us.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
—Galatians 5:22–23
