"But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on [your] right cheek, turn the other one to him as well. If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well. Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go with him for two miles." Matthew 5:39-41
Don't we want to fight back? Not to fight back goes against my sinful nature. When sin is in our lives we seek for ways to fight back, to push. Jesus didn't fight back in any of His situations, He received everything that came His way. He lived the Divine life here on earth and we His followers seek this life. I don't know about but I need all the help the Good Lord will give not to fight back.
What is God saying to me: I see what is going on, You must be still and not be concerned, I will provide.
Dear Lord, I can see how my sinful ways get in the way of our Divine life. I ask for your help today to not push back, to not resist when feeling wronged. We live in a world that seeks a fight, help us see how our sin interferes not only in our lives but in the lives of others. Thank You Father for this day, thank You Father for continuing to root out the sin that is in my life. I love You Father and will continue to seek You and Your ways. In Jesus name, Amen.
