DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 21-22; Ezekiel 40; John 17
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 1 Thessalonians:5:15See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
See All... [1]
How quickly we want to get back at someone and return evil for evil! Slights, insults, open rejection—hurtful words and actions that sometimes come our way. Our immediate response is to retaliate, to show that we will not stand for it and to silence the source. But that strategy, appealing to the flesh and encouraged by the world often deepens the problem. If that is your situation today, commit the matter to the Lord who experienced the same (1 Pet:2:23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
See All... [2]
) and watch how He will work with you and for you. —Mark Kolchin
Jesus, meek and gentle, Son of God most High,
Gracious, loving Saviour, hear Thy children’s cry. —G. Prynne
