This blog post is based off of 1 Samuel 24:1-7 from the "New Women's Devotional Bible".
Many of us have been mistreated or misunderstood for something we have done. In this morning's devotional, David had been wronged by Saul. But instead of killing him when he had the chance, he spared his life and decided to let go of the past.
Sometimes we tend to take matters into our own hands. We either were misunderstood or mistreated and want the other people to pay for what they did. We don't let God take the reigns and we decide that our way is faster and better. This can lead to a whole big mess. We should look to David as an example and decide to let God take care of it on His own time.
Instead of responding with retaliation, let us respond with a blessing. The blessing doesn't have to be big and obvious, it can be a silent one. A peaceful one.
"Snuggle in God's arms. When you are hurting, when you feel lonely, left out, let him cradle you, comfort you, reassure you of his all-sufficient power and love." Kay Arthur
