THROWING STONES, JUST MAYBE A BLESSING! 2 SAMUEL 16: 11-12 11 David then said to Abishai and all his officials, “My son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to. 12 It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today. ” HAVE YOU EVER ENCOUNTERED A PERSON, OR PEOPLE; WHOM NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY DO, THEY WILL SAY NEGATIVE THINGS AGAINST IT, THESE ARE STONES- THESE STONES ARE MEANT TO HARM YOU AND CAUSE YOU PAIN, MAYBE THEY TALK ABOUT YOU TO OTHERS AND SPEAK CURSES AGAINST YOUR LIFE- SOME MAYBE TRUE, AND SOME A LIE- BUT NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY CAST STONES, THESE STONES DIRECTED AT YOU NEVER EXACTLY HIT YOU. DAVID EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM IN 2 SAMUEL 16TH CHAPTER, AS HE RAN FOR HIS LIFE FROM HIS SON ABSALOM, HE CAME TO THE CITY OF BAHURIM, THERE HE ENCOUNTER A MAN FROM THE CLAN OF SAUL, YOU REMEMBER SAUL, WHO HATED DAVID BECAME JEALOUS OF HIM AND TRIED HIS DARNEST TO KILL HIM- BUT COULD NOT; YES! SHIMEI, CAME OUT AT DAVID, HE CAST STONES, CURSED DAVID, AND SPOKE CYNICALS AGAINST DAVID; DAVID BEING A MAN OF GOD; (NOT PERFECT,BUT OBEDIENT.) WOULD NOT RETAILATE AGAINST SHIMEI, MATTER OF FACT HE INSTRUCTED HIS GUARD- TO NOT HARM HIM. DAVID SPOKE A PROPHESY IN HIS OWN LIFE JUST AT THAT MOMENT, IN CHAPTER 16, 12 It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today. ”, ONE NEVER KNOW HOW OR WHEN THE LORD WILL TAKE WHAT IS MEANT FOR YOUR EVIL, AS A SAINT AND TURN IT FOR YOUR GOOD, WE HAVE TO TRUST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, AND KNOW THAT ALL STONES CAST AT US, WILL NOT HARM US, YES! THEY MAY HIT US, AND SOME WILL HURT, BUT IT WILL NEVER TAKE OUR CHRISTIAN WALK AND DEPLETE OUR MISSION TO RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE. SHIMEI, WAS NOT HARM, AND HE WENT ON HIS WAY, CURSING AND CASTING STONES, BUT NEVER DID HE HARM DAVID OR DAVID AND HIS ARMY HARM SHIMEI. THERE ARE TIMES IN OUR LIVES JUST AS DAVID, WE COME BEFORE OR ENCOUNTER EVIL AND HATE FROM OTHERS, SOMETIME THE ADVICE WE RECEIVE THAT IS PLEASING TO OUR EARS, JUST AS AMNON DID ABOUT HIS SISTER TEMAR, FROM HIS COUSIN, JONADAB, WAS NOT CORRECT OR GOOD ADVICE, BUT BECAUSE IT AGREED WITH AMNON AND HIS EVIL INTENT, HE TOOK HIS COUSINS ADVICE AND CAME TO A DEMISE FOR RAPING HIS HALF SISTER, WE TOO CAN TAKE THE WRONG ADVICE AND WHEN ONE AGREE WITH US, THOUGH IT MAY BE WRONG, WE AS HUMANS TEND TO LIKE THAT; AS CHRISTIANS WHOM ARE STRIVING, WE MUST LEARN THAT TRUTH IF IT IS TO HELP US, DOES NOT ALWAYS FEEL GOOD TO US WHEN TOLD TO US, SOMETIME IT MAY EVEN ILLICIT A THOUGHT PATTERN, JUST AS DAVID WHOM HAD ADVISERS, AROUND HIM, MEN OF GOD, WHOM LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD THE FATHER AND ADVICED HIM CORRECTLY, AND AT TIMES DAVID DID NOT AGREE WITH THE ADVICE, BUT BEING OBEDIENT AND A MAN AFTER GODS OWN HEART; HE LISTENED, THIS HELPED DAVID IN HIS REIGN AS KING. TODAY LET US ALWAYS REMEMBER, THE STONES THAT ARE CAST, WILL SOMEDAY BUILD OUR CASTLE… GO OUT TODAY AND ENJOY LIFE, DO SOMETHING BRILLIANT, AND AS ALWAYS BE BLESSED.
