Is there anybody in your life that you hold a bitter spirit towards?
Joseph was a remarkable man in that he never held a bitter spirit towards anybody. We also see that Jacob was not overtaken with bitterness when he discovered the wrongdoing of his own family.
Hebrews 12:14-15 NIV
"Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many."
Sometimes it's possible to settle down in comfort and wonder what we're doing in this world in the first place. The life of one who's living for God and one who's living for success in this world's system are totally incompatible. Bitterness is one of these aspects which show we have a root that's deep into this world's system.
Scriptures mentioned: Genesis, the life of Joseph
