Thanks for tuning in to today's Daily Drive with Lake Point Church, a daily dose of God's word for your

morning drive. When the word, not the world, becomes the majority of your week, your life will start to

change. For that reason, our prayer is that God will speak to you through today's devotional.

This Christmas, we want to invite

you and your family to join us for our candlelight services on December 22nd through 24th at any of our

six locations or for church online. For more information, visit lakepoint.combe.combe.

And now let's dive in to today's

devotional. Hey, welcome to the podcast. My name is Mike Bro, and we're here Monday through Friday,

trying to become a little more like Jesus every day. So thanks for tuning in. We launched into a

discussion yesterday about a character trait called gentleness.

And we talked about going to the replay monitor like those football referees and taking a

closer look at our character, our actions, our reactions, and asking God, would you take a closer

look and let me know how I'm doing? Am I growing in love? Am I growing in peace? Am I growing in patience

and goodness and kindness and faithfulness and self-control? Am I growing in love? Am I growing in peace? Am I growing in patience and goodness and kindness

and faithfulness and self-control? Am I growing in gentleness? And we said yesterday that

gentleness is not weakness but its power under control, or more specifically, our power under God's

control. And we left off yesterday with these words of Jesus from Matthew chapter 11. Let me read

it again. He says, come to me. All of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens,

and I'll give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you because I am humble and gentle,

and you'll find rest for your souls. Jesus is saying, if you'll just come to me, if you'll yoke up, link up, do life with me,

the gentle one, I will enable you to have power under my control, because that's how God is.

God is a gentle God.
