As students of God’s Word, we should equip ourselves to address conflict among our coworkers. In the face of mistreatment, we must demonstrate a Christ-like love and a willingness to forgive--as we hope to be forgiven.

Being able to trust is essential for our lives. When we are children, we have unequivocal trust in the loving care of our parents. Marriages are built on trust. When these bonds are broken, they shake the very foundation of our lives. Likewise, fellowship is based on trust.

Shouldn’t my faith be able to handle this? Why am I so upset? The psalmist does not deny the reality or the validity of his pain and distress, what he does is remind himself to keep his eye on the eternal. 

God has been looking for repentance. It is worth some introspection, to see if repentance is still needed in our own lives.

Most are familiar with the account of Jacob being blessed by Isaac. Rebekah, commanding the obedience of her younger son in spite of his protests, engineered a reminder to Isaac of which son was to be blessed.
