Day 2: The Poison That Spreads
Reading: Ephesians 4:31-32
Devotional: The Greek word for bitterness, picria, describes something sharp, piercing, and poisonous—something that makes water undrinkable and food inedible. Bitterness never stays personal; it leaks into our relationships, families, and communities. Paul's command is clear: "Put away all bitterness." Not manage it, not minimize it—remove it completely. The antidote? Forgiveness modeled after Christ. When we rehearse our hurts repeatedly, we replant the root deeper. But when we choose forgiveness, we release the poison's grip. Today, identify one person or situation you've been rehearsing in bitterness. Make the decision—not based on emotion, but on obedience—to release that debt to God and let Him handle the justice you cannot control.
