Today’s
Scripture:
“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the also ye are called in one
body; and be ye thankful.” Colossians 3:15
I recently came up on a quote that says “Those that talk down
to you are just trying to walk tall by making u feel small” This quote had me
reflecting on the story of David and
Goliath. It also had me reflecting on a period in my childhood where I had some
neighbours that used to talk down to me and my sisters all the time. It also made
me remember my brother telling me that when people talk down to me it is because
they want to be like me.
Ladies do you know anyone who constantly talks down to you?
Do you wonder why? Do you wonder what did you do to the person to deserve them treating
you so badly? The answer is that the person sees something in you that they admire,
(well maybe envy). The person wants to be like you and do not know how to deal
with it therefore the person talks down to you.
I encourage you today not to be perturbed any longer by the actions
of persons who are jealous of you, the Bible tells us in Proverbs 14:30 that “a
tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.” Therefore
be at peace, take a leaf out of David’s book, and become confident in the God
you serve knowing that He is with you and greater is He that is in you than He
that is in the world.
Recently, I had a similar situation and I would get so upset
whenever the person spoke down to me. I decided to pray about and ask God to
help me to deal with it differently, since then I don’t let it bother me and I
react in a calm and loving manner (most times) , the person now deals with me differently
because they realize that they cannot get to me anymore.
So today ladies pray and ask God to give you peace so that
you might not be perturbed by the person’s actions. Also ask God to let his
peace rule in your heart so that you will be able to show the person love.
Showing the person love will confuse the person and cause the person to change.
Have A God Filled Day Ladies
Let’s Pray
Father today we pray for your peace that passes all
understanding so that we can deal with those that envy us. Lord we also pray
that your love will shine through us so that we may exemplify you.
In Jesus Name
Amen
