Responding To Those That Seek A Cause Against You

 

Today's verse is Mark 3:2

And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. 

    What did Jesus do when he knew that those about him, would accuse him for doing right? He did RIGHT. He did the very thing they hoped he would do, rebuking those that had their evil intentions. And they, after their evil hearts, did as they were inclined, and began to seek a way to destroy The Saviour, which would lead them to placing Him on the Cross, even as he had already planned and foretold through his prophets. We that fear God, can we do any less? Focus not what others will say, but focus on doing that which will please God according to his Word. And if opportunely is given as Jesus did, give instruction, and rebuke the thinking of those blinded by their wicked ways (who knows, one might repent) knowing that whatever they do, God has already worked it together for good, according to his Purpose. So, as Jeremiah prayed, Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. Will you also Hope, and Trust in the Lord your God. Amen.

To God be the Glory
