Romans 12:20 KJV — Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 30 May 2024
Jesus the Christ while here on earth started a cultural revolution that continues to shake the foundations of world culture to the present time. He introduced a new way of thinking and behaviour that was contrary to how things were done and are done in society. Up until Christ introduced the culture of Jehovah’s kingdom the default situation was to render like for like in how humans related to one another. The philosophy of the world was and is to like those who like you and hate those who hate you, to recompense evil for evil and good for good. But as followers of Christ you are called to a new culture in which you are enjoined to love those who hate you and repay evil done to you with goodness. Are you ready to allow God to avenge for you instead? Let go and let God.
Pray: O Lord God our Father, I want to live to please you, please give me grace to turn the other cheek and leave vengeance to You. #Mok
