16 As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart. 20 And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants’ female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” ~ 2 Samuel 6:16, 20
Bullying has always been and will probably always be. There are those who will hate you and say all manner of evil about you because of that hate. There are others who are jealous of what you have, whether it is earthly possessions, or your family-love, (your home life).
They will hate you because of your relationship with Jesus. There are all sorts of reasons that will cause them to bully you, and even spread all sorts of rumors about you. But it’s not unique here in America, it’s all over the world. We all fight the same demons.
These were the words of David’s wife. Words that she intended to destroy him with. I’m sure David’s feelings were hurt, and his ego bruised. I’m also pretty sure that at the very least, it made him feel small and embarrassed.
David’s wife, Michal, saw David as less than royal. Remember, she was a spoiled princess who got everything her little heart desired. All the latest gadgets, and all the latest phones, laptops, you name it, and she had it. She had it all. But she didn’t have a worshipping spirit like David did. So, she lashed out at him, but David didn’t let it get the best of him. He looked to God. He focused on His relationship with God. This is what we have to do when people try to bully us. We have to overcome evil with good by looking at our relationship with God.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Focus on Your Relationship With God.
