"David was in an extremely difficult position because the troops talked about stoning him, for they were all very bitter over the loss of their sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God."
1 Samuel 30:6 ( CSB).
I am always fascinated by the the book,
PEOPLE CAN'T DRIVE YOU CRAZY IF YOU DON'T GIVE THEM THE KEYS, there the author, Mike Bechtle said:
" "DRAMA-FREE" doesn't mean getting rid of the drama or the people who create it. It means being free from it's debilitating effects in our lives. This book is about getting free - not letting our lives and attitudes be controlled by the choices of others. "
Have you found yourself in a position where people are totally against you - I mean people who should really understand, speak for or encourage you.
Imagine sharing with your mother a marriage proposal with your heartthrob and she picks up a mortar to chase you into the streets.
Imagine making a confession to your priest and he brings out a gun to shoot you in utter disappointment;
Imagine leading a contingent of soldiers to a wilderness for war and they all turn their rifles at you because they are out of food and some of their loved ones have died?
It is always easy to advice, encourage, condemn or attack others when you are not in their shoes.
As you wake up today, just remember that every person in life faces challenges; whether they are righteous or unrighteous.
The difference lies in the response to situations. No matter what you face, don't let the people or the situation control you - draw strength from God and He will give you courage to face it in a way that soothes.
Note: God can never run out of solutions or ideas; He is an ever present help in the time of trouble.
God would make you smile again, just cast your burdens on him and trust in his process.
Good morning and God Bless you.
Do have a wonderful day ahead!!
