Welcome back my friends. It is time for the morning mindset. I thank you for joining me in this short little four or five minutes that we have to get our minds aligned with the truth of God. I wonder if you are aware

that I'm now producing longer forms of content for those who become partners.

It's my way of saying thank you. I've already produced a

couple of audios. One of them is a sermon that I had preached at a local church

sometime back and the other is just some thoughts off the top of my head in response to a

listener who was asking some questions about our previous topic of submission and I

would love for you to have access to that content. You can find out how to get access

by going to carrygreen.com slash partners. And you'll find out how you can become a partner

and receive that content regularly as it comes out.

Now we are in 1st Peter, chapter 3,

and Peter has just told us that there is a blessing that comes

when we are mistreated.

When evil conduct is done toward us, or reviling is the word he uses.

So that's like someone saying evil about us or slandering us,

those kinds of things. And he's saying when we are

mistreated that way and instead of returning the favor, so to speak, and treating

that person the same way, we bless them instead, there is a great blessing that

comes back to us. And here's what he says, he says, whoever desires to love life and see good days let him keep his tongue

from evil and his lips from speaking deceit let him turn away from evil and do

good let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and

his ears are open to their prayers. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

Now this is a quotation from the Old Testament
