Today's Scripture *November 3, 2008*
1 Peter 3: 9
Don't repay evil for evil. Don't retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it.
In our fallen world, it is often deemed acceptable by some to tare people down verbally or to get back at them if we feel hurt. Peter, remembering Jesus' teaching to turn the other cheek (Matthew 5: 39 But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. ), encourages his readers to pay back wrongs with blessings, such as praying for the offenders. In God's Kingdom, revenge is unacceptable behavior, as is insulting a person, no matter how subtle or how indirectly it is done. Rise above getting back at those who hurt you. Instead of reacting angrily to those people, pray for them!
Heavenly Father, we worship You and adore You!
You are the Giver of life! Our Eternal King!
To You alone, O Lord, be all the glory and honor!
Help us to love one another! Guide us to be a people after Your own heart!
May we love and forgive, just as You have loved and forgiven us.
We pray for Your guidance! We pray for Your wisdom. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Have a blessed new week!
Happy November!
Your sister in Christ,
April
