Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”says the Lord. On the contrary:“If your enemy is hungry, feed him if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.Romans 12:17-21 NIV Bible Gateway
What is going on in your life right now? Any little petty irritations? Minor issues can get your ‘feathers ruffled’ but press on.
Slow line when you are in a hurry. Long time friends that decide they no longer like you because of politics. Delayed flight. Two hour wait at a favorite restaurant. Water pipe bursts flooding your living room. Unexpected bill. So many things can shatter your peaceful world so how do you react?
The younger generations in the past couple years would say chill, it’s not that deep, it’s all good meaning basically in a nutshell, simmer down God has this. When you steam and stew over something your enemy Satan rejoices. Stand your ground. Be at peace. Breathe in and give thanks!
PRAYER: Father I love you and thank you for being with me every day in every way. I pray to stay cool in situations I have no control over. Guard my heart to stay pure and holy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
