Psalm 18:4 The pangs of death surrounded me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
One of the hardest things I find of dealing with is the heart-ache we have from what other people say and do against us, especially when we are trying to do what God has asked of us.
These back-biting words and deeds come from all manner of people in our lives and when they come they overshadow all the good words and deeds.
When they do, turn to God’s Word and find the strength again. God has promised never to leave us and He does not. Draw on His strength, always.
