Like the Bars of a Castle
A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle. - Proverbs 18:19 NKJV
Reflection
Offenses and contentions are like the bars of a castle, hindering our freedom and witness. As we mature in Christ and yield to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, we learn not to pick up offenses. We also learn how to handle those we may have offended, even when they don’t share their feelings with us. By God's grace, we extend love and mercy.
Application
➤ Pray for wisdom when handling offense or contention
➤ Choose to release hurt quickly and walk in love
➤ Trust God’s timing in bringing healing and reconciliation
Connection
Thank You, Lord, for Your grace and mercy. Help me release offenses quickly, walk in love, and extend grace to others as You extend it to me. I trust You to heal wounds and restore relationships. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
