Our passions and desires have the potential for great defilement and destruction. We need to turn away from anger. We need to turn away from deceitful retaliation. We need to turn away from self-indulgent greed. We need to turn our hearts away from murder. We need to guide our families in righteousness and obedience.
We need to do all we can to seek peace and reconciliation through demonstrating complete humility, receptive love, openhanded generosity, reasonable negotiation, and the ongoing worship of Almighty God.
God will surround us with His protection as we prayerfully seek His deliverance, seek our opponent’s favor, exercise prudence in the face of danger and provide over the top restitution to those who oppose us. Ultimately, we need to cling to Him for His blessing and restoration.
It’s very easy to become angry with people who oppose us. If we are not careful, our unresolved anger will consume us. We need to hear God’s call for peace in our lives doing everything we can to pursue peace with those who oppose us.
We need to be devoted to strong biblical teaching.
We need to be devoted to Christian fellowship.
We need to be devoted to fellowship with Christ.
We need to be devoted to prayer.
Our King came in the midst of the mundane.
Our King came from obscurity.
Our King came by way of lowly means.
Our King was heralded in the highest.
Our King was adored by the lowest.
Our King was treasured by the poorest.
We should rejoice in the Lord in every circumstance. We should praise God in all things. Because God has given us a Savior. Because God has given us a Forerunner.

Sometimes even the righteous suffer.
We always need to be ready to serve.
We need to be faithful in prayer.
We need to take God at His Word.
God has seen your affliction and He has heard your cry for help. You need to be attached to the LORD through expressing all of your praise to Him. God will contend for you and vindicate you as you find all that you Need in Christ. In His time, He will reward you with His blessing, joy, honor and justice. God has not forgotten you.
1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
