Let God Fight For Us

It is easy and many times feels good to direct hate towards someone who hates us.  The same goes for wanting to pursue a desire to get back at someone who has wronged us.  As believers we must trust that God will repay those wrong doers.  We cannot get back at someone like God can.  Besides, hate is self-destructive.  It may be difficult, but we must show love/overcome evil with God towards those who hate us.  With God's help, we can achieve this.

The Value of Resting

Resting is an essential piece to our spiritual and physical development.  So often we are occupied with numerous tasks.  Although the tasks are productive, we still need time to rest.  Resting brings about a humility that allows us to hear from God and keeps us from being susceptible to exhaustion.  Each day, take time to rest and trust that God will continue to lead us in the way we must go.  Our greatest strength may very well be our ability to stand still and trust God.
