Righteous
Read 1 Peter 3.8-12
“.. the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayer’” (1 Pet.3.12)
Submission has a very positive thrust to it: it involves making your own needs and desires secondary to the needs of those around you – living in such a way that you bring and become a blessing to others through your words and actions.
Why are you to avoid repaying evil with evil and insult with insult?
How do these verses urge you to respond in the face of wrongs done to you?
Prayer: Lord, I can be quick to fly off the handle and to react in kind when I find myself maligned or wronged: grant me grace to restrain my baser instincts.
