Promotion After The Pain

Are you experiencing harsh treatment from somebody lately? The Lord wants to remind us today that although we cannot control the behaviors of others or how people treat us, we can always control how we respond to them. Will we allow the pain to bring us down or will we use it to show who we are as Christians? Our initial reaction to these situations is very critical. Though it’s never easy to handle criticisms, corrections, rebuke or persecutions, these experiences can mold our character & lead us to become the person God wants us to be. There is promotion on the other side of pain & shame. If we choose to do the right thing, the Lord will reward us openly in His perfect time. [ “The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.” - 2 Chronicles 16:9 ]
