PROTECT YOUR HEART  Proverbs 4:20-27 Devotional:- “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (V. 23) NLT      Everyone is born with a strength capable of rising to greatness. In every growing child is a seed of greatness. It is this strength that makes the youth so creative and energetic. That is why each young person looks at the future with great hope. The enemy tries to destroy this strength. As strong as many started in life, not many could strike the chord of success because their strength was destroyed.

FULL OF GRACE

FULL OF GRACE

2 Samuel 9:1-10 NKJV
Now David said, “Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” (V 1)

    Men don’t believe in showing kindness towards someone who has offended   them. We look at them as a bad person and believe nothing good should happen to them. Most people believe the wicked should be paid back in their own coin. This therefore makes us hate those who hate us and love people who loves us. But Jesus said, this does not make us different from the people of the world. It is true that the wicked should be paid with wickedness but not through you. Leave vengeance to God. It is better when they are rewarded by God for everyone will see their shame and great falling. So, leave vengeance for God. We are to show them mercy and grace all the time.

Saul was an open enemy of David. He sought to kill him with all he has, until he killed himself. But David knows that not by Power or by might that he was granted victory. So, he knew he should be gracious to Saul’s family for the sake of Jonathan his friend. That is the reason he looked out for anyone in his family that he may show kindness to them. This shows him a wise winner indeed.

If you see a relation of those who are against you, don’t hesitate to help them. If there is anything within your power to do to assist them, do it. And God will be happy with you. This proves you more matured. You overcome evil with good. Pray for them and let God be happy with you. And you shall be blessed.

Prayer: Lord, help to always overlook offences and help everyone


“WHEN YOU LET GOD FIGHT FOR YOU, YOU ENJOY YOUR PEACE”.
