Day 57: Take it

Back to the Bible

Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, "Is that you, O troubler of Israel?" And he answered, "I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father's house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and you have followed the Baals." 1 Kings 18:17-18


Kroll writes: "Don't be surprised or dismayed if you are being persecuted, in whatever form it may take. Consider it a confirmation that Christ is obviously within you and radiating from you.
Jesus Christ is both a comfort for Christians and an irritation for the world."

Lord,
Recently I have felt persecution from someone, and at the same time hold onto integrity in the name of Christ. Lord, help us to stand as a witness to you in spite of accusations otherwise. We don't want to be mean or cruel. We want to be fair and honest. Help us to maintain that and not fall into a mindset of getting even.

Lord, we love you and desire to represent you...even in tough situations when it is most difficult. Thanks for all your blessings!

Amen
