In Jesus Hands

In 2 Samuel 16:5-14 in this account David bore shimei's curses much better than Ziba flatteries; by these he was brought to pass a wrong judgment on another, by those to pass a right judgment on himself. The world smiles are more dangers and thru it frowns. Once and again  David spared Saul's life, while saul sough his. But innocense is no defence against malice and falsehood. Nor are we to think it strange, if we are changed with that which we have been most careful to keep ourselves from it is well for us, that men are not to be our judge, but He whose judgment is according to the truth. See how patient David was under this abuse. Let this reminds us of Christ, who prayed for those who reviled and crucified him. A humble spirit will turn reproaches into reproofs and get good from them. Instead of being provoked by them. David the hand of God in it. And. Comfort himself that God would bring good out of his affliction we may depend upon to God to repay, not only our services, but our suffering. Unlike David, we often want to silence our critics, insist on fairness, and defend ourselved
 But as we grow in our awareness of God's protective love. We become less concerned with what others say about us and more willing to entrust to our Father. Like David, we can say of each critic. Let him alone, and let him curse" (2 Samuel 16:11). This is humble submission to God's will. We are in God's hands, no matter what others are saying about you. He had seen your distress, and in time. He'll repay you for the cursing you have received. So trust Him and abide in His love. We can endure life's wrongs because we know that God will make all things right. How did Jesus respond to words spoken against Him? What did He do and not do? In what situations can you follow His example? (1peter2:20-23).
