Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. (1 Peter 3:9) 

 

Even the most peaceable among us has been upset by what we are hearing, seeing and watching.

 

It’s hard to not feel heartbroken and angry.

 

But, when you became a believer you laid down your right to carry anger or hatred.

 

When you live in a world that says, “I have the right to be angry!” It’s hard to hang on to Kingdom thinking.

 

Hate is a subtle and comforting lover that begins with blindness… only to progress to slavery and abuse. None of us have the right to hate!

 

God infuse me with peace that passes all understanding. (Phil 4)

 

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous. (1 Peter 3:8)

 

When I read this devotion it jumped off the screen at me. I was reminded of Ephesians 4:26, Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath. I love the point todays devotion is driving home for each and every one of us. May our deepest desire be just this, God infuse me with peace that passes all understanding. None of us have the right to carry anger or hatred. Amen!

 

Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
