Dealing with difficult people?
April 10, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 19
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 19. Jehoshaphat visits his kingdom
and appoints certain Levites and priests and heads of families of Israel, to
give judgment for the Lord and to decide disputed cases. “11 And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of
the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the governor of the house of
Judah, in all the king's matters, and the Levites will serve you as officers.
Deal courageously, and may the Lord be with the upright!”” 2 Chronicles 19:11 English Standard Version
(ESV). Our Lord knows we are not perfect. God expects us to keep faith in
Jesus. If we love the Lord with all
our heart and seek him with all our might, we won’t need to worry about what people
or our civil leaders are doing to or for us. “For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the
ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for
a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in
that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8 ESV. So
when we see our civil leaders or for that matter anyone doing things that don’t
favor our situation what action do we take. Americans have the right to complain aloud
about our leaders, ask yourself is that truly profitable? I believe a letter sent without malice
would go much farther in inspiring them to take care. Pastor Jon Lilley had this to say on the
same subject; “Have you ever dealt with a difficult person? Of course you
have. Dealing with difficult people is a part of life. How should we handle
those difficult people? Our first reaction may be to get angry and upset, but
this is not how God wants us to respond.”
Jon went on to tell us what God’s Word says about how to deal with
people who are not treating us fairly; “God gives us instructions on how to
handle difficult people in His Word. In Ephesians, God tells us to be
patient, loving, gentle, and humble…” (to see Jon Lilly’s blog go to; http://jonlilley.com/2013/04/09/dealingwithdifficultpeopl/)
I personally agree with our brother in the Lord. Keep the faith and let your light shine.

“He
is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and
he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification
for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,” Hebrews 1:3 ESV.
