Leave It in God’s Hands!

He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.
1 Peter 2:23, NLT
Leave It in God’s Hands
How much more peace would we have if we didn’t retaliate when we’re insulted, didn’t try to get even, and weren’t frustrated when others stir up trouble? Instead of fighting, we walk away and leave the issue in God’s hands, knowing He is fighting for us. Why live all stressed out, with high blood pressure and not sleeping well because we’re trying to solve the case, prove the case, win the case? This can save you a lot of heartache. When you leave that case with God, He’ll make the wrongs right. He’s heard the negative comments, seen the betrayal, the offense, the jealousy. None of that can keep you from your destiny unless you let the offense get inside and poison your spirit. You don’t have to retaliate. God will vindicate you better than you can vindicate yourself. This takes all the pressure off. It’s very freeing when you understand that you don’t have to change people or convince them to be for you. Just keep taking the high road, honoring God, and He’ll get you to where you’re supposed to be.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the example that Jesus showed in His response to insults and false accusations. Thank You that I don’t have to waste my time and energies trying to prove who I am or change what others think of me. You are my vindicator, and I know You will make the wrongs right. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...
