DId God Really Say…

May 30, 2024

Read Joshua 10, Proverbs 25, 1 Corinthians 9

There are many places in Scripture that seem counterintuitive to us when we compare them to the teachings of the world. The first shall be last, if someone strikes you on the cheek turn and let them strike you on the other and many more. Here in Proverbs 25 we find another one. “If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. 22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you” vv. 21-22. The world tells us to punch back, seek revenge, but here God says be kind to your enemy and meet his needs. This is the way!
