Managing Mistreatment

When we are mistreated, our natural reaction is to get even or mistreat someone back. However, the Bible tells us that when others mistreat us we must follow Jesus' example and submit. Christ submitted to the plan of the Father and was mistreated tremendously. As Christians, we must understand that God's care, plan, and provision is better than our own and fully submit to Him. When we place all of our trust in God, no matter how much mistreatment we have to endure, then we are truly obeying His word.
