Topic: SURVIVOR'S INSTINCT!
Memory Verse: "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me" - Micah 7:8 KJV
Bible Text: Psalm 119:71 KJV
71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I might learn thy statutes.
INSPIRATION: Survivors of a painful and hurting experience fall into one of two extreme modes of reaction. One extreme is to continue the victim role of being powerless, allowing others to abuse or take advantage of you without protest in many current life situations. At the other extreme are survivors who are determined to never again be taken advantage of or exploited by anyone or any force. They're determined to get rid of the victim role and fight against anything that threatens their rights.
A survivor, desiring to part with the yoke of passivity and negativity, makes effort to do so in admirable ways, especially, if done in consideration of his physical, emotional, spiritual and financial wellbeing. To fight back the negative effect of your trauma is good. Note that fighting back and planning to take revenge on those who hurt you is not one and the same thing. At times, the process of carrying out a revenge could possibly lead to your secondary wounding thereby inflicting yourself with more harm than good.
TODAY'S TAKE HOME:
As a survivor, seek out activities that build your esteem and reaffirm your worth and commit to them rather than seek revenge.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help to see the brighter side after surviving a trauma. Teach me how to empower myself and build my self-worth without giving room for external exploitation and abuse. Help me to be discerning and trusting again as I heal and forge ahead, in Jesus name.
