TODAY’S WORD
In Luke 17, Jesus was preparing His disciples to go out and do great things. He could have taught them about having more faith for bigger impact, but He said, “Offenses will surely come.” He was saying, “As you go through life, offenses will come your way from rude coworkers, family members who don’t believe in you, and friends who walk away.” Jesus gave them this somber news, then He gave them the solution. “If your brother wrongs you seven times a day, forgive them. Live unoffended.”
What He is talking about is continual forgiveness. He’s saying that you can’t let offenses come in and poison your spirit. You have to deal with the hurt quickly. The longer you wait, the more difficult it is to release it. If you dwell on it for a day, think about it for a month, it’ll get bigger and become more hurtful. You’ll be sour, short with people, irritable, and not enjoy your family. That could have all been avoided if you would have forgiven quickly. Don’t let offenses take root and contaminate your life.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that I can guard my heart and keep it free from all the negative things that try to bait me to let them enter in. I declare that I will not allow offenses to get inside and make me upset and bitter. I declare that I will live unoffended and continually forgive. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
