1 Chronicles 19 - Bullies Fall

Hmmm...  I hate to say, but I am human and can't help it.  "What goes around, comes around."

David extends his hand in friendship and his servants are humiliated. They are majorly bullied. In turn, the men who humilate David's servants and all their friends are defeated.  The Syrians learned from this, that they should choose their friends wisely.  Choose whether you will listen to and follow those who would lead you to destruction or those who will live with you in peace and help you to live in peace.

I have lived a good many years and to be honest, I am quite tired of so many trying to disrupt my peace and the peace of many whom I care deeply about.  It won't work.  They will not succeed.  But, there are some who still try.  There are those who want to humiliate (bully) others for no reason.  One word of advice - ok two - "steer clear" of them.  Do not support those who are wrong-headed and stir up trouble just to stir up trouble.  Follow in the way that you should go - a path that has been set before you.  Follow in the footsteps of Jesus, where there will be many who persecute you and try to change your heart and mind, but Jesus will be with you through all the travail, granting you His peace.
