'The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression' (Proverbs 19:11).

It is very important to maintain unity in our relationship. However, in life when some one hurt and caused you pain, it can be difficult to maintain the relationship if we let it escalate. Some people are easily offended, some might hold a grudge for a long time, while others might seek revenge. These actions may lead to a broken relationship or see a relationship ended. We can choose not to be offended, nor hold a grudge, nor take revenge to maintain unity in the relationship. It is not easy to do, but in Christ we must trust. He will give us the strength to do what seems impossible to us. "The discretion of a man deferreth his anger." God is longsuffering, abundant in goodness and truth. We must reflect Christ and have a good character; to bring honour to His name by deferring our anger and choose not to be angry, so we sin. It is our duty and in our interest to forgive as God forgives us. When we are slow to anger in overlooking an offence, it is of a good character. It is so easy for one to rush to anger and even more difficult to be slow to anger, but through Christ we can conform and be transformed. Our minds will be renewed as we are transformed in Christ's likeness. He will give us the power to approach anger slowly and carefully, so we can experience the glory to pass over a transgression. We serve a mighty and righteousness Judge who didn't treat us as we deserved. Let us seek God prayerfully that He will strengthen and empower us to treat others not as they deserved as Christ did for us, so we can reflect His character.

Have a wonderful day🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
