Bitterness

  • Better, Not Bitter

    ByPrasad

    Joseph didn’t deserve what happened to him. He was seventeen, hadn’t done anything wrong, and his brothers sold him into slavery. He had every reason to be bitter. But the Bible never records him complaining — not in the pit, not in prison. He had understood something most people spend a lifetime reaching: God intends our hardship for better, not bitter. Today’s devotional is for anyone who is in danger of letting an unfair thing make them bitter.

  • Don’t Rush Ahead of God

    ByPrasad

    Esau couldn’t wait. When he saw his father’s wishes, his immediate response was to do the opposite — out of spite. One reactive decision caused grief that lasted for years. Genesis 31–36 is the story of what happens when we rush ahead of God — and what happens when God, in His patience, brings things back together anyway. Today’s devotional is for anyone feeling the urge to force something before its time.
