Mercy Over Retaliation
When David has the chance to strike his pursuer, Saul, he chooses restraint.
Hebrew keyword: Rachamim (רַחֲמִים, rachamim) – compassion or mercy.
Your spiritual connection is strengthened not just by prayer, but acts of mercy, even toward those who wrong you. Forgiving or withholding anger is a brave act of the heart.
Practice: Notice if you’re holding onto small grudges. Can you offer a bit more rachamim to someone today?
