S - Proverbs 25:21 If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat.
If they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
22 You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads,
and the Lord will reward you.
O - Continuing on from yesterday, there are evildoers that don't want me to succeed or to hurt me. However, this passage says that I am to give them food to eat and something to drink as this will bring the Lord's reward to me.
A - When dealing with people that are out to hurt me or cause me shame, I am to treat them not only well, but to give them the basic necessities that they need to live. In doing this two things will happen. First, they will be brought to a place of embarrassment and shame as they have been treating me unfairly and see that I am able to treat them well and serve them. And second, God will reward me for doing this. His reward is more valuable to me than anything else because if God is for me, who can be against me?
P - God, I ask for your forgiveness today for the way that I have talked about people that are bringing pain into my life and how I may even treat them. I pray that you give me patience in dealing with these individuals and that I not only treat them well but I serve them. Help me to have a heart that can forgive them and not look for anything back in return from them but to instead just focus on your reward that you have promised. I praise you today for being the ultimate example of this in your son Jesus as He treated those that not only didn't like him, but that wanted to kill Him, with love always. I pray a blessing and health upon my family and me today.
