HAVE YOU EVER BEEN WRONGFULLY ACCUSED?

I Peter 2: 23 says, "When they hurled insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him Who judges justly." I don't know about you, but I have heard from many ministers lately who have been wrongfully accused. Everything in them wants to defend their reputation, trying to do something to justify their attitude or actions. None of them wants others to hear or believe the wrongful accusations.

Can you imagine what it was like for Jesus, who was continually slandered, accused of wrong doing and blasphemy? All the religious leaders throught they knew what Jesus should or shouldn't do. Jesus could have put them in their place, called fire down from heaven, or destroyed them in some way. He could have retaliated, repeated their faults, or responded in a negative way. But, the Bible says, "He entrusted Himself to Him Who judges justly."

That is God's Word to us today. Let's release all the hurtful accusations and entrust ourselves to Him! Let's place our total faith in the One Who can redeem us and clear our names. When wrongfully accused, let's ask God to give us grace to respond by staying aligned in Him.

Lord, we put our reputation in Your trust and care. We choose to experience Your Presence and anointing in greater measure than ever before. We entrust ourselves to You Who judges justly!
