My Days with Christ Jesus

Day 14

January 14

"For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men." -1 Peter 2:15

Gods' desire for us, His children, is to be good, holy, righteous, merciful, loving, humble... In short, He wants us to be like Him.

In becoming so, by doing good things even during our darkest moments not allowing the negative spirit influence us, unlike how most people are.

We all have bad day. We all have enemies lurking, waiting for us to be off guard and are ready to attack especially when we are weak/ faint wanting us to response negatively... Our flesh and the Spirit that dwells within us during that time are in a battle, when people hurt you the flesh would go with what the world would do that is to get even, revenge comes to mind so easily while the Spirit tries to calm us to get us down in our knees to pray for us not to sin.

In constantly seeking God, knowing His will & desire for us keeps us in the right perspective - obey Him. Doing well/good to others despite the wicked things they have done & thought about us... You are making them silent by not feeding their foolishness.

As the saying goes, "If someone throws stones at you, give the bread..." (Sorry. I don't think that's the exact words. But the thought is like that.)

When people bring us down, spreading rumors about you or by hurting you in any way, don't ever follow their ways... Because if you do the same thing to them you're being like them. You'll end up just like them. Conforming in their image... And that doesn't give glory to God. It will only displease Him. Remember that God created us in His image & likeness. Our God is good & holy and so be like Him.

Instead pray for your enemies that they may repent so that God's wrath won't be upon them. Because when you get hurt and remain humble, God will be the one to face your enemies... God says "...vengeance is mine." If you area true follower of Christ Jesus then those people against you are in reality against your God. That is why i said, pray for your enemies. Pray for them.

In everything that is happening in our lives, in the good & bad, in every circumstances stay good, holy & righteous because that is the will of God and in doing so you are giving Him back the glory He truly deserve.

So be careful in all your actions or in your words, be God's representive and not of the world... Be like Him to be worthy to called His child.

To God be the glory!
