📖 Ephesians Chapter 2 | July 30–August 1

📖 DAY 2 – Thursday, July 31

Welcome back, Wisdom Seekers!

As we move deeper into Ephesians 2, we reflect on how God's grace humbles us and softens our view of others. When we realize we didn’t earn our place in God’s family, it changes how we value those around us.

---

🔍 Focus Verse:
Ephesians 2:8–9
“For by grace you have been saved through faith… it is the gift of God—not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

---

💬 Questions:

Before – Did you assume that your way of doing things—processing life, showing love, solving problems—was “right”?
Did you struggle to see value in others’ approaches?

Now – How is God humbling you through Ephesians 2?
How are you learning to honour others’ uniqueness instead of criticizing or correcting them?

---

✨ Guided Prompts to Help You Answer the Above Questions:

Before:

• Did I criticize people’s pace, passion, or perspective?

• Did I expect others to be more like me to be “acceptable”?

• Did I believe my temperament was the most effective?

Now:

• Am I seeing that God uses different personalities for different purposes?

• What am I learning about God’s creativity through others?

• How am I starting to build bridges rather than defend my preferences?

📝 After spending time with today’s question, kindly drop one word in the comments:

🧠 Quote of the Day:
“God’s masterpiece includes brushstrokes that don’t look like yours.”

---

🙏🏽 Temperament-Based Prayer:

Choleric:
Lord, break the pride that sees only my way as right. Teach me to pause and honor the wisdom You placed in others.

Sanguine:
Jesus, slow me down enough to truly listen and learn from those who don’t express like I do. Let my joy make space for depth.

Melancholic:
Father, release me from the need to correct or perfect others. Help me find beauty in difference, not discomfort.

Phlegmatic:
God, remind me that my voice matters—but so does theirs. Help me embrace diverse paths without retreating into silence.

---

🌸 Closing Encouragement:
When we choose humility, we gain a fuller picture of God's family. Let’s honour each part of the body.

💖A Summary of What Each Sister Shared from Ephesians 1 – Loved to Love

As we reflected on the truths in Ephesians 1, each sister opened up honestly about where she was before and how God is working in her now. Here’s a summarized account of what was shared by each temperament group.

---

🟡 Sanguine Reflections

Sister Debbie
She used to avoid serious or quiet people, feeling dismissed or unsure how to connect. She’s now learning to appreciate quiet relationships and moments of stillness. In the past, she became defensive when corrected, but is now learning to receive correction with grace. She also shared how she used to feel intimidated by reserved individuals but is growing in her ability to connect with others on a deeper level and appreciate their calm strength.

Sister Alison
Alison admitted that she used to take it personally when people didn’t seem interested in connecting and found reserved individuals boring. She often spoke without thinking. Now she’s learning to value quiet connections, accept correction with grace, and embrace people’s unique temperaments with more patience and humility.

---

🔴 Choleric Reflections

Sister Debra
She once had little patience for indecisive people and would take control to get things done. Now, she’s working on honoring others’ pace with grace. She realized she often corrected others harshly, but is now striving to speak the truth in love and humility. When others didn’t take initiative, she used to see it as laziness but is now recognizing that people grow and respond differently.

Sister Tessie
Tessie reflected on how she once lacked tolerance for those who were slower or less decisive, but has since grown in patience and learned to respect different temperaments. She acknowledged that she was more tolerant outside the home than inside and is seeking to better understand how to speak lovingly when addressing repeated issues. She still values initiative but is now more understanding of others’ different levels of motivation.

Sister Gale
Gale shared that she used to move on quickly from those who were indecisive, seeing them as inefficient. She now views them as part of God’s plan to help her grow in patience. She admitted that her tone in correcting others was often harsh, but she is learning to speak truth with love. She once saw those who didn’t take initiative as lazy, but now sees them as uniquely wired and in process—just like herself.

---

💚 Phlegmatic Reflections

Sister Ann
Ann shared that she once avoided confrontation but is now learning to listen first. She used to be critical of expressive people, focusing on their facial reactions, but is now learning to respect others’ emotional expressions. In relationships, she’s learning to be honest and avoid conflict while still addressing issues with understanding.

Sister Maria
Maria admitted that she used to argue with people who were intense but now listens calmly. She used to judge expressive people but is now trying to connect with them. She sees her role in relationships as a communicator, decision supporter, and emotional encourager.

Sister Claudia
Claudia used to cry easily and shut down when faced with confrontation. Now, she feels more comfortable engaging and sees herself as growing stronger emotionally. She once viewed expressive people as harsh or bossy but now understands their hearts better. In relationships, she once saw herself as a follower, unsure of her voice, but she now feels more confident and empowered.

Sister Jacintha
Jacintha used to walk away from confrontation or stay silent, feeling intimidated. Now, she’s speaking up and reminding herself that her voice matters. She used to feel overwhelmed by expressive people but now appreciates their energy and presence. In relationships, she’s growing in her role as an encourager and is making more time for meaningful connection.

---

🔵 Melancholic Reflections

Sister Laura
Laura said she used to pull away from those who weren’t emotionally deep. She’s now learning to love others as Christ loves her, even when they’re different. She used to be critical when people didn’t meet her expectations, but now understands that grace is needed on both sides. She once defined herself by flaws, but now sees her worth through God’s eyes.

Sister Hazel
Hazel shared that she used to silently distance herself from those who didn’t match her depth. She used to be sarcastic or disappointed when people didn’t meet expectations. Now, she’s learning to offer grace and rest in God’s steady love. She no longer feels the need to prove herself.

Sister Cindy
Cindy used to withdraw from people who didn’t show emotional depth and quietly judged those who let her down. She’s now learning to offer grace and stay present. She struggled with comparison and self-criticism but is growing in accepting her identity in Christ and resting in God’s love.

Sister Glenda
Glenda said she used to criticize and pull away from those who weren’t emotionally deep. She was disappointed when others didn’t meet her expectations but now chooses to extend grace and focus on Christ’s perfection. She once over-focused on flaws but is learning to trust God’s shaping work in her life.

Sister Michelle
Michelle admitted that she used to assume others who weren’t deep were not serious about God. She pulled away from people who didn’t meet her expectations and struggled with self-worth. Now, she’s asking God to help her love others and is growing in accepting herself.

Sister Jesmyn
Jesmyn shared that she’s learning to connect without needing every conversation to be deep. She used to be critical of people who didn’t meet her expectations but is now catching those thoughts and showing grace. She still struggles with self-worth and flaw-focused thinking but is encouraged by the reminder that she’s chosen and enough in God’s eyes.

Sister Melanie
Melanie shared that she used to avoid emotionally shallow people and struggled to trust others. She’s learning that not everything has to be deep and is trying to enjoy lighter moments. She once projected her expectations harshly on others but is now understanding the need for grace. When it comes to worth, she used to compare herself heavily and felt pressure to prove herself. Now, she’s on a journey to embrace her identity in Christ and let go of striving.

---

💛 In Summary

Each sister has shared openly and vulnerably—reflecting on how God is shaping her through His Word, through community, and through the lens of her temperament.

From impatience to grace…
From silence to strength…
From criticism to compassion…
From striving to resting in Christ…

This has been a week of real transformation—and we give God all the glory.

Let’s keep learning, growing, and loving together.

July 25 - Week 1 - Day 3: Seeing Ourselves Clearly

 🔍 FRIDAY – Day 3: Seeing Ourselves Clearly

Welcome to Day 3, sisters—the final day of this week’s question journey.

Today’s focus is on how we view ourselves—our worth, our role, and our value in relationships. Do you see yourself as less than? Or as someone God has purposely placed with a steady, intentional role?

Ephesians 1 reminds us: You are not overlooked. You are not too much. You are not too little.

You are chosen, sealed, and deeply loved.
Let today’s questions remind you of that truth.

Pause. Reflect. Receive His affirmation.

---

🔍 FRIDAY QUESTIONS

After spending time with today’s questions, drop one word in the comments:

✅ “Completed” – if you’ve finished today’s questions
⏳ “Considering” – if you’re still working through them

Let’s finish this week strong—with honesty, grace, and growth. 🌱💖

---

🟢 Phlegmatic
3️⃣ How do I see my role in relationships?
Before: Did I think my contributions didn’t matter?
Now: Am I starting to believe that being steady is a strength God can use?
📖 Ephesians 1:4 – "God loved us and chose us... to be holy and without fault."

July 24 - Week 1 - Day 2: Receiving and Extending Grace

 

🔍 THURSDAY – Day 2: Receiving and Extending Grace

Welcome to Day 2 of your three-day question journey, sisters.

Today we turn inward to explore how we handle grace—both receiving it and giving it. Do we shut down when corrected?
 Distance ourselves when others fail us? Or are we learning to extend the same grace we’ve received in Christ?

Ephesians reminds us that God poured out His grace on us generously.

Now He invites us to reflect that same grace to others—especially when it’s hard.

Take a breath. Sit with today’s questions. Let grace lead.

---

🔍 THURSDAY QUESTIONS

After spending time with today’s questions, drop one word in the comments:

✅ “Completed” – if you’ve finished today’s questions
⏳ “Considering” – if you’re still working through them

One question. One honest step. Let’s keep growing. 🌿💬

Thank you and do have a grace-filled day!

---

🟢 Phlegmatic
2️⃣ How do I view highly emotional or expressive people?
Before: Did I judge them as over-the-top?
Now: Am I learning to appreciate their emotional wiring?
📖 Ephesians 1:13 – "He identified you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit."

July 23: Week 1 - Day 1: Responding to Others

🔍 WEDNESDAY – Day 1: Responding to Others

Welcome to Day 1 of your three-day reflection questions, sisters.

Today is all about looking at how we respond to others—especially when they show up differently than we do. Do we shut down? Take over? Feel unseen? Or are we learning, by grace, to relate in love?

Ephesians reminds us that God chose us, not because we responded perfectly, but because of His great love. Let His love shape your response today—especially when it’s not easy.

Quiet your heart, invite the Holy Spirit in, and reflect honestly.

July 22 - Loved to Love Introduction

This isn’t about head knowledge. It’s about heart transformation.
Ephesians will show us how to love one another through the lens of our God-given temperaments.

July 21 - Proverbs Interaction - The Royal Temperament Trial

Hello WS Seekers,

We have made it the end of three weeks!  Thank you Lord.

Welcome to the Courtroom of Proverbs 21, where motives are examined, justice is upheld, and every action is weighed not by opinion—but by the King of Kings. (Sound like a TV show, eh). 

Today, your temperament is on the witness stand.

This isn’t a court of condemnation. It’s a court of holy refinement.

God isn’t looking for your perfection—He’s searching your heart, your intentions, and your direction.

---

⚖️ Case Summary: Proverbs 21 Themes

Proverbs 21 places great emphasis on:

• God's sovereignty over plans and actions (v.1–2)

• Justice and righteousness over ritual (v.3)

• Pride, hasty speech, and wicked motives (v.4–7)

• How our conduct reflects our character—especially in times of pressure

---

🧾 Your Courtroom Reflection: 5 Divine Hearings

For each “hearing,” you’ll be asked to review the evidence (scripture), examine your temperament, and write your verdict (what God is revealing).  You do not have to share it.

---

🪞 Hearing 1: The Motive Examination

“Every person’s way is right in his own eyes, but the Lord examines the hearts.”
— Proverbs 21:2

Verdict Question:
📝 Have I justified something outwardly that God is convicting inwardly?

---

⚖️ Hearing 2: The Sacrifice Overruled

“To do righteousness and justice is preferred by the Lord more than sacrifice.”
— Proverbs 21:3

Verdict Question:
📝 Have I been “doing spiritual things” but avoiding the hard work of doing what’s right?

---

🗣️ Hearing 3: The Pride Charge

“Haughty eyes and a proud heart—the lamp of the wicked—is sin.”
— Proverbs 21:4

Verdict Question:
📝 How does pride show up in my temperament—through control, withdrawal, self-pity, or comparison?

---

🔊 Hearing 4: The Talk Testimony

“Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.”
— Proverbs 21:23

Verdict Question:
📝 What tone or talk pattern do I need to surrender: sarcasm, over-talking, harshness, gossip, or silence?

---

🕊️ Hearing 5: The Heart-Walk Inquiry

“A person who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life, righteousness, and honor.”
— Proverbs 21:21

Verdict Question:
📝 Am I actively pursuing righteousness—or just avoiding wrongdoing?

---

👩🏽‍⚖️ Your Assignment in the Royal Courtroom:

1. Choose the Hearings that speak most to your temperament.  Share them in the comments below.  No need to share your answers.  You examine your heart.

💬 Let the courtroom be a place of clarity—not condemnation.

---

👑 Final Word from the Throne:

The King isn’t just looking for right actions—He’s weighing the why behind them.

You don’t need to argue your case before God. You just need to come honestly, confess humbly, and follow faithfully.

Remember, you’re not being judged for your past—but invited to walk righteously from this moment forward.

🎯 Today’s prayer:
“Lord, weigh my heart… and lead me in a way that pleases You.”

Wishing you a marvellous Monday, my sisters.

July 20 - Proverbs Interaction - Seven Seals of Wisdom

 

Hello, Wisdom Seekers! 💛

Happy Sunday to All.

As we continue our Proverbs journey, today we invite you to go deeper with Proverbs 20—a chapter that doesn’t just speak about outward wisdom but goes straight to the heart and the hidden places of our lives.

This chapter reminds us that the true transformation of our temperament begins with integrity—the kind that is tested, revealed, and refined by God Himself.

We’re calling today’s activity: Seven Seals of Proverbs 20 🔐

Each seal represents a spiritual truth that God is gently opening in our lives. Some may convict. Others may comfort. All are meant to shape your temperament and testimony.

---

📝 Instructions:

1. Read Proverbs 20 slowly and prayerfully.

2. Reflect on each of the Seven Seals below.

3. Choose one seal that speaks to where you are on your temperament transformation journey.

   • Why does this seal resonate with you?

   • What is God revealing or healing through this?

July 18 - Proverbs Interaction - Talk Test temperament Tracker

Proverbs 18 – What Are Your Words Saying About You?

Hello, Wisdom Seekers 👋🏽

Welcome back to our daily transformation journey through Proverbs—where each chapter holds a mirror to our hearts, habits, and hidden temperaments.

Today’s stop: Proverbs 18.
And oh, what a chapter it is! It doesn’t just nudge us—it convicts us right in the mouth. Literally.

📍 Before you scroll any further, pause and reflect:
🗣️ What has your mouth been saying about your temperament lately?
Are your words nurturing? Are they life-giving? Are they aligned with wisdom?

---

📖 Scripture Focus

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.”
— Proverbs 18:21 (NASB)

Let that settle in.
The tongue is not neutral. It’s always planting—either life or destruction.
And the fruit it bears reveals the root of your temperament.

So here’s the heart question:
Are your words evidence of a transformed temperament—or do they echo your old nature?
