Scripture: 1 Peter 3: [9] Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.<\/p>\n
Observation: I received an email from Bob at Rock of Faith it appears he is upset because I talked to Pastor Mike about a Thanksgiving Dinner. All night long I\u2019ve been thinking of something cleaver to say to strike back. Here is a man who is trying to take care of the homeless and instead of supporting him I\u2019m trying to seek some type of revenge. I\u2019ve spent so much time rehearsing what I might say, instead of using that time to pray for him and the event. What a waste of time and energy.<\/p>\n
Application: I\u2019m here to be a blessing not a burden, as I have been most of my life. I need to reach beyond my own personal feelings and seek God\u2019s strength and wisdom on how to serve others in his name. <\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord soften this servant\u2019s heart and open my eyes to see what you desire me to see. Take this self-centeredness away from me and may I focus on the reason you created me. May I glorify your name in all that I do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
