ENCOURAGEMENT

Daily Scripture: Psalm 109: 3-5: “They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause. In return for my love, there are accusers, but I give myself to prayer. Thus, they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.”

  • People who hate you without cause and seek to harm you will fall into the traps set for you.
  • There is nothing as painful as loving people genuinely and receiving hatred in return. Giving them your best and getting their worse. Despite your prayers and goodwill, they simply hate you with dogged hatred. It makes life feel sour. 
  • What such people do not realize is that they are making themselves enemies of God’s word. He is God and he honors his word even above his name (Ps 138:2). 
  • At the end of the day, like Haman, the hatred they refuse to let go of will destroy them and their household (Proverbs 17:13 “Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from his house.”) 
  • Today be encouraged. Whatever they are doing to spite, you must be strong. God does not sleep or slumber. Their cup will soon be full. Just as they desire your hurt, they will receive a harvest of their evil desires. 
  • Father, perfect your will in the lives of your children and frustrate the tokens of the wicked. 

Good morning, Liberated.
