Bible Verse:
“Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.” – Proverbs 19:11 (ESV)

Devotional:
One of the greatest lies we often believe is that we have a right to be offended. Yet Scripture tells us that true wisdom and strength come not from reacting to offense but from letting it go. In Unoffendable, Brant Hansen reminds us that being perpetually offended is not a virtue, it is a burden. The more we cling to our “right” to be angry, the more we exhaust ourselves and diminish our witness to the world.

What if, instead, we made the radical choice to release offense immediately? To forgive quickly? To lay down our pride and pick up peace? Living unoffended doesn’t mean pretending that hurt doesn’t happen; it means trusting God with justice and freeing ourselves from the need to carry judgment. Today, let’s ask God to give us the wisdom and humility to be slow to anger and quick to overlook offense.
