Friday. [Rom. 2:14–29; Matt. 5:33–41]
But I say unto you, That ye resist
not evil (Matt. 5:39); in other words, allow
yourself to be a victim of human selfishness and malice.
But how can one live like that? Do not worry. He who gave
this commandment is our Provider and Guardian. When you
desire to live like this with complete faith from your
whole soul, to not resist any evil, the Lord Himself will
arrange a life for you which is not only bearable, but
joyful. Furthermore, resistance in fact can irritate an
aggressor even more and motivate him to invent new
troubles, whereas a yielding demeanour disarms him and
humbles him. Thus, if you would just suffer the first
onslaught of malice, people will take pity on you and
leave you alone, while resistance and revenge kindle
malice, which is passed on from the individual to his
family, and then from generation to generation.
