Scripture reference: Ephesians 6:11 (ESV)
Transcription:
How do you use your energy when you believe someone has wronged you?
Perhaps this person’s actions have caused you to end up in a place you otherwise wouldn’t be. We can surely make that case for Joseph’s life.
First, Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers due to their jealousy of him. Next, he was thrown into prison after being falsely accused.
Yet when I read the Scriptures, it is never stated or intimated that Joseph even contemplated retaliation. When he was finally confronted by his brothers years later, he only wept for them and told them that God turned into good what they intended for evil.
The same can be true for you. However, there’s a common conundrum – seldom do we end up actually retaliating; instead, we can become so consumed by the idea of retaliation and allow that to usurp our energy.
As you think about that, remember these words: “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11 (ESV)
This has been your B Moment. Your moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.
