This is the first message in a three-week series called "Resisting Revenge" where we're studying minor prophets of the Old Testament. Today we covered the book of Obadiah.
GROW Work:
1. Identify someone in your life whom you currently see as an enemy
2. Reflect on what you know of him or her: family, upbringing, health, education, challenges, etc.
3. Consider his or her hopes, dreams, fears, etc. and the promises God has made him/her.
4. Process if/how this changes your view of him/her
5. Take these into account as you pray for him or her before your next interaction.
6. Whatever you would like him or her to do to/for you...do to/for him or her.
GO:
"Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God." - Romans 12:19 (NLT)
