Today's Favorite Verse: 1 Chronicles 19:2-3
"And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?"
Looks like they had to deal with fake news back in David's time too. He tried to show kindness and conspiracy theorists built up such paranoia over something that didn't exist. Showing themselves totally in fear of man and not lead by God. All of this caused a battle where 47,000 men needlessly died. How do you stop people from doing this? I guess you just have to trust that God will help you over come the challenges caused by those that have lost their way.
"Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight."
(1 Chronicles 19:13)
