Let him

Read 2 Samuel 16:5-14 sometime. It’s entertaining and enlightening.
The recap:
-Someone curses King David
-One of David’s men volunteers to cut off the guy’s head
-David replies (in effect): “Let him curse me, God’s got my back.”
I long to have that kind of restraint and perspective.
I’m not there, but I’m getting better.
After all, how will it hurt me if someone doesn’t agree with my theology?
Let them disagree…maybe I can even learn something from their disagreement.
Why get so emotionally revved when someone makes a false accusation about me?
Let them accuse…no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
I’d be a whole lot happier and exponentially more effective if I could learn to let things go, bolstered by the confidence that God has got my back.
Those who are spiritually secure are able to hear the critical voice, filter and digest what’s helpful, process out the rest, and stay in the zone.
