Running Away From Problems

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.1 Corinthians 10:13

Have you ever had a time in your life you wish you could be frozen like Mel Gibson in the movie ‘Forever Young’ and come back years later and maybe things will be better? When I have had pity parties I ponder it. Of course I won’t do it but sometimes the enemy plays with our minds making us feel like we are of little worth and if ugly words by family or friends are spoken to you that is the nail in the coffin so to speak.

Sometimes you have to be the bigger person and move on from conflict. You know a person who hurt you should apologize but they never do and you can’t just keep up an argument indefinitely. The devil is the great divider and he stokes the fire for the conflicts to continue. Don’t let it happen.

Fighting is from the enemy. It is easy to argue. No matter how hard it is you must forgive and move on. Don’t keep mulling over hurts or you will never have victory.
Choose to be the bigger person and maybe even ask God to show you if you may have been wrong or contributed to this. Underlying all this is don’t let Satan have victory. Seek peace and pursue it.

PRAYER: I hate disagreements especially with people close to me. I know Satan is the one who wants to destroy relationship and wreck life in general. I choose to stand firm and not cave in to self pity or bitterness and to seek unconditional love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
