THURSDAY - Devotional

Isaiah 41:10

• Have you ever felt dismayed or frustrated when you’ve tried to do what is right but others haven’t listened?

I often have this feeling that people don’t care about things they should. That we’re all so distracted by the grind of life that we neglect things that matter for the well-being of all. We are so busy and smothered by responsibilities that we don’t have the bandwidth to care more. It’s easy to be frustrated, but frustration should not stop us from doing what is right, and we should be humble enough to accept that we don’t know the whole story of why people don’t see things the same way we do. Other people not listening is not an excuse to not do what is right ourselves. Continue to tell people about what matters while doing what matters, no matter how people respond.
