Quote for the day: Sometimes God does not change the situation, because He is trying to change your heart…. Bible Verse: 1 Peter 2:23 “Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: When some thieves stealthily entered a Christian’s home and were on the lookout for valuables, they were startled to find the man praying fervently and so tried to make a hasty retreat. But the Christian stopped them saying ‘you can take whatever you want, but do not harm me, but give me a chance to talk to you’. They thought that it was a trap, but sensing no trouble agreed to listen to the man. The Christian spoke in length about the love of Christ and begged them to leave their old ways and experience a new life in Christ. They were hardened men. They did not make any commitment, but the Christian knew that he had sown the seed and God would work on it. Christ is our best example, ‘who when reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; (1 Peter 2:23) Whatever He taught He himself first acted on, and He gave no teaching of which He did not give the proof and example in His life. In other words He preached what he practiced, and practiced what He preached. IN CHRIST PASTOR T.M.JOSEPH NEW LIFE MISSION-INDIA
