Gen 16:5
5 And Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the Lord judge between you and me!” ESV
- Hurt people don’t use sound logic. This was her idea that she told him to do. He did exactly what she told him to do, yet she was mad about it. I think I need to remember that hurt people lose their logic. I need to shut up when I am hurt & be patient with others when they are hurt. I need to remember to speak with a gentle answer. Prov 15:1 a soft answer turns away wrath. Defending your case just builds for an argument. God, help me to lay down my pride so I can draw people to you. Help me to value others more than myself.
- Abraham was willing to give things up to have peace. Gen 13:8
- Gen 2:24 this is especially true in marriage. On both sides of the coin, it is about being loving when they aren’t using logic, and realizing that when you are upset, your own logic is broken.
