What can man do to me? Actually quite a lot. This is one of those times when we look around, and it may seem that God sometimes isn’t able or willing to help us. We see in the Scriptures that those who follow God do suffer, so what is going on here? Is the Psalmist wrong? I don’t believe he is when it is put into perspective. People can harm you physically, emotionally, but the one area where they don’t have power is in our spirit. Jesus tells us in Luke 12:4 not to fear those who kill the body, but God, who can destroy the soul. In perspective, it may seem that this is horrible, but in the greater picture, it isn’t anything. If I recall correctly, Michael Jordan, the Basketball player, was cut from the basketball team in school, but as bad as that it may have seemed at the time, ultimately it didn’t matter. I’m sure it hurt, but 15 years and 6 championships in the NBA show it turned out okay. How much more will it for us?
