I am continually amazed by the variety of reasons people give for leaving churches, jobs, families or other important life situations. These people become offended at the most trivial things.
For example, one woman told me that she believed God had called her to attend a certain church—but that later she left because the music was too loud!
I asked this woman, “Why didn’t you just sit in the back of the church or use earplugs rather than leave the church God told you to attend?”
Well, this woman didn’t have a good answer to give me! She was just doing what most people do—run when they become offended.
Don’t let the devil do that to you. Don’t let him run you out of your church, workplace or important relationships because of an offense. God wants you to walk in victory over offenses. He wants you to live completely free from the hurt and turmoil they can cause.
So if something has happened that has offended you, pray about your situation; then stand in faith in the midst of it and keep the devil from gaining the upper hand.
Later, if God leads you out of that situation, you will leave in victory instead of in hurt and offense.
