well, i have spent most of today inbed feeling sorry for myself, as one does when one is ill, but praise God, i spent some wondeful and very needed time with the Lord as well!
he is so gracious. Some of my time was spent meditating on scripture and it occurred to me that jesus was nearly killed by the mob or pharisees twice (at least) before he submitted to the Cross. so when he says to ‘turn the other cheek’ he does not mean, ‘just let people smack u around’ but he means to use wisdom when attacked, be close to the Father, know when ur time to submit to injustice has come. he certainly says ‘ do not strike back’ that’s for sure, because he fled and hid in the two situations i read about today. he didn’t try to prove himself to anyone and didn’t think it shameful to turn and run so that his Ministry wouldn’t be prevented from achieving it’s purpose. interesting, i thought. goodnight.
