Keep Calm and Carry On
• Series: United
How we respond to others when we feel we have been wronged reveals our heart condition. Some common responses include expressing anger, seeking retaliation and holding grudges. While understandable, these are not the behaviors Jesus would encourage. He spoke of and modeled the importance of being peacemakers and peacekeepers. King David once found himself in a tense situation involving Nabal, a selfish, foolish man who made the mistake of offending the king. God used Nabal’s wife, Abigail, to prevent David from taking justice into his own hands. If we will let Him, God will help us in difficult situations so that the result is peace, not division.
