Find Strength in the Lord When Rejection StrikesGreetings Reader During the time when David fled from King Saul, he also led his men on military expeditions to defeat the enemies of Israel. While on one of these crusades, the Amalekites raided the town of Ziklag, David's home base. They plundered it, took all the women and children, then burned it down. When the warriors of David saw what happened, they were devastated and discussed stoning David. Talk about rejection! In one minute, David stood as their beloved leader, and in the next, they treated him like an enemy. David, however, went to the Lord, who gave him the strength and leadership to rectify the situation. When rejection strikes us, we can also find strength in the Lord. Enjoy today's devotion. God Bless Robin

Let The Message Of Christ Fill Your Life Greetings Reader In the clarity of Colossians 3, the Apostle Paul jotted down two lists. The first one describes how we used to live before Christ became part of our lives. · Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires.

But now is the time to get rid of anger,...
