When the Bible says “do not lean on your own understanding,” the Bible is serious. Your heart is deceitful, your emotions fluctuate, your understanding does not see the overall, big picture. God never lies, God never changes, God knows all. Trust Him.
In Matthew 5:9, Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” There’s a reason God calls us to live in peace. Don’t let people pull you out of character or block your blessings. Ask God to remove the urge to get revenge. Let go of the mindset that you must hurt those who hurt you. Focus on protecting your peace and letting God fight your battles. It’s hard, but being the bigger person and keeping your eyes on God is worth it in the end.q
I saw a Tik Tok video of a woman cleaning her home that said "taking care of what God has already given me, so he knows I appreciate and care for what's to come. No matter where life takes you, you have to learn to take care of what he's given you otherwise, he can't give you more".
This is your reminder🫶🏽
