ARE YOU EASILY OFFENDED?
It’s easy to become offended. Responding to an offense in a way that honors God is challenging. As always, Scripture gives us help.
“A person’s wisdom yields patience;it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense” (Proverbs 19:11).
The word “glory” refers to a person’s beauty of character, honor, or virtue. The NLT translation states it this way, “Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.”
God calls us to develop a character that resembles Jesus by overlooking offenses with forgiveness and honor. He died for those who offended him. How can we develop the faith we need to be less offended and be more like Jesus?
