Thought for Today: Friday July 22:

Throughout His earthly life, Yeshua was constantly exposed to personal criticism and rejection… How did He respond to that? Firstly, with steadfastness. He did not tone down His Message, nor did He stop doing what He knew was right. Secondly, with strength. Ahead of Him was the cross – but He did not lose courage or shrink from what He knew was YHVH’s will. Thirdly, with submission. When Herod prodded Him to defend Himself, He answered Herod nothing – Luke 23:9. Only one thing mattered: Fulfilling Elohim’s purpose for His life. Now the big question remains: How do we as believers meet criticism?
