My word teaches you that it is better to suffer wrong without cause than to sue your brother in the courts. This is stated in regard to this specific condition, so it could be interpreted as having a narrow application. Do you think the same principle could be applied broadly? Are there other ways in which it is better to endure an offense rather than to take active measures in reaction to it? Most people make such decisions intuitively and overlook minor slights, rudeness, and insults. Let this be your preferred method of dealing with provocations, that you resist not evil and conduct yourselves as the children of your Father in heaven. 

Are you looking for opportunities to serve me? Do you want to be led by my Spirit in doing so? If you are waiting for a prompt, and are not sensitive in hearing from me, you will not find many opportunities. Are you familiar with defaults from using computers? If your default is ‘no’, then you will walk past many places where I could use you. What if your default was yes? Then you would assume that every assignment was for you unless I told you no. This would involve a continuous running dialogue, but it would result in more opportunities realized for you. Does this seem like an unrealistic approach? Try it and see if it doesn’t lead you to greater sensitivity and awareness. 

Do you believe that the Bible is true? Many have investigated the basis and claims of the Bible in great depth and found them to be true. Others are still skeptical and this is ultimately a matter of faith. Do you understand the difference between proving the Bible to be right and using the Bible to prove yourself right? Surely you have seen people from opposing viewpoints eager to quote scriptures to defend their positions. They usually use different scriptures, but does this matter if they come from the same book? Perhaps this should make you reconsider the way in which you use the Bible. If you approach it without a predetermined position it will speak for itself. 

Do you want to be transformed into my likeness? My word says that as you openly behold me you are changed from one degree of glory to another even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Does that sound too easy? Yet consider those who have encountered my presence as recorded in my word. They were awestruck and undone by the experience. In this condition they were clearly out of their ‘comfort zone’, but this is the only place that real change takes place, and this is particularly true of transformational as opposed to incremental change. Do you still want to be transformed into my likeness if it involves your devastation?
