Worthless Fellows

“Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba…” (2 Samuel 20:1)

         The world has always had worthless fellows in it, and they have a way of rearing their heads with criticism and unkindness at the worst times.  Sheba rose up against David at a time when the kingdom was fragile.  He kicked David while he was down.

         Worthless people take advantage of weakness.  People of value bolster the downtrodden.  Sheba saw weakness as an opening for power.  Instead, we should see weakness as an opportunity to mend.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
