“I gave My back to those who beat Me, My cheeks to those who plucked My beard; My face I did not shield from buffets and spitting. The Lord God is My help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set My face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame.” Isaiah 50:6-7
Key thought:
When you turn the other cheek, as Jesus so often did, you do not shame yourself; rather, in rejecting revenge, you demonstrate your love for others—regardless of their sins. What others may view as weakness, God sees as a virtue.
Suggested practice:
Whether it’s today, tomorrow or next week, someone is bound to hurt you. When that happens, resist the urge to lash out, and instead ask God to be by your side.
