"A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense." Proverbs 19:11
How do I respond when offended? Some days, not so good. Even if I don't verbally respond, my thoughts can run rampant. This guidance reminds me that overlooking the offense is glorious!! It might not appear glorious to those around me. In fact, it might look non-confrontational or weak. But, the wisdom that brings this kind of patience is glory to God.
Jesus our Messiah hung from a tree and looked down on Roman soldiers who pierced him and religious leaders who mocked him and said, "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do." He exhibited such patience for all humanity.
