Be the Bigger Person, People Are Watching

Bless those who curse you and pray for the happiness of those who mistreat you. Can we do that? Yes, if the Lord gives a command which this is, we have what it takes to do it. Our willingness to do it can be an issue. Because it’s a direct hit to our flesh, and our flesh is unruly and wants to react if not kept under control. Love can overcome evil when it’s working in a believer of God’s word (Romans 12:21). The Lord expects us to follow His commands so we can connect to the next level in life He’s taking us to. But if we haven’t learned how to deal with our enemies God’s way, we’ll never get to the highest of heights God wants to take us. Praying for those who mistreat us is sowing the very seed necessary for the Lord to get involved on your behalf. He will prepare a table in the presence of your enemies to display your victory (Psalm 23:5). But to those of you who are listening to what God says, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, and bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. You can do it!
