A Downward Spiral
Matthew 5:7-10, 5:39, 6:14-15
This is Seeking Him, by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, brought to you in SASL by Revive Our Hearts South Africa and generous donations.
Nancy shares a personal experience of feeling hurt and misunderstood after damaging comments were made about her. She describes how bitterness, anger, and self-pity began to grow as she listened to lies in her mind. However, reading Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount confronted those thoughts with the truth about mercy, forgiveness, and peacemaking. The devotional emphasizes the importance of filling the mind with God’s Word to resist lies and choose forgiveness over bitterness.
