A Daily Devotional About doing the right thing in defeat, disappointment, and loss� 1 Kings 9:4 "As for you, if you walk before me in integrity of heart and uprightness, as David your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws, 5 I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever�(NIV) When we suffer defeat, disappointment, and loss, we can often get angry. The more suffering we undergo, the angrier we can get. Unfortunately, our hurt and grief over a loss can turn into anger and hatred. Hitler turned Germany's hurt and grief over losing World War I into anger and hatred against the Jews and other nations. The result of this misplaced hurt and grief turned into anger was the loss of life for millions, the destruction of Germany and many parts of Europe. As our life plays itself out, we must make specific decisions when we are defeated, disappointed, and grieved. When we see God in the workings of life, we soon realize our defeats, disappointments, and losses here on earth are only temporary. When we look up to God, we see victory, hope, and eternal gain. When we see God, we find the power to walk upright, the power to do the right thing, and the power to live with integrity. |
