The Best of the Feast
Dealing
With Difficult People?
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We
spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s
Word in approximately three years.
“19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be
quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; ” James
1:19, English Standard
Version (ESV).
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, 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. “6 For while
we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For
one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person
one would dare even to die— 8 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. From time to time most of us have dealt with a difficult person! 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. Here is one
example from God’s Word; “23 Have nothing to do
with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24 And the
Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able
to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with
gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a
knowledge of the truth,“ 2
Timothy 2:23-25, ESV. Keep the faith and let your light shine.
If the Lord is willing I will
send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
