Sunday Reflection (October 11, 2020)

When others cause you grief, do you intercede for them? Or do you wait for the opportune time to get back at them? How often do we lose focus on the big picture because we want to duke it out with our perceived enemies when given the chance?
Moses was a compassionate, humble person whose concerns were far larger than his own life (Exodus 32:1-11).

May we be like Moses (and Christ) who interceded for those who caused them grief.  May we have an attitude and approach, so when given the chance, we use our available resources and power to be gentle and embody kindness and patience (Philippians 4:4-9).  If you feel you have received a “raw deal,” allow the Holy Spirit to form gentleness within you and among us. Allow the Holy Spirit to form Christ within you and among us, so when given the chance to do bad to someone, do good instead!
