Releasing the Wells

from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen

Have you ever been completely in the right, but found yourself in a bitter conflict anyway? You did the work, you followed the rules, and yet someone else stepped in and claimed the credit or tried to shut you down entirely. Our natural instinct in those moments is to clench our fists. We want to fight for what is rightfully ours. We want to defend our reputation, demand fairness, and force a victory to prove we are right. But what if fighting for control in that very moment actually costs you the very peace God is trying to give you? Today, we are looking at the quiet, un-grasping strength it takes to release our grip and trust God to defend us.
