IF THEY MAKE FUN OF YOU, JUST LEAVE IT UP TO GOD
Then I prayed, “Hear us, our God, for we are being mocked. May their scoffing fall back on their own heads, and may they themselves become captives in a foreign land! Nehemiah 4:4 NLT
1. Let God defend you.
Don’t let other’s opinions discourage you.
He knows who you are.
He will vindicate you and reward you in public.
Do not take vengeance. He knows how to make all things work for your good.
Then as I looked over the situation, I called together the nobles and the rest of the people and said to them, “Don’t be afraid of the enemy! Remember the Lord, who is great and glorious, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes!” Nehemiah 4:14 NLT
2. Remember that God is bigger than those who made fun of you.
3. Encourage others and fight to leave a better world for your children and future descendants.
Don’t let other’s mocking paralyze you nor stop you from reaching your goals and being an example for your loved ones.
Pursue to learn a different language even if others make fun of your accent. Fight for your children to graduate college, strive to start a new generation of college graduates, entrepreneurs or pastors in your family.
It doesn’t matter if they make fun of you. God is smiling at you with affirmation, acceptance and love.
Time to Reflect:
Have others’ mocking held you back in life?
Is there something you need to leave in God’s hands?
