Managing Criticism that comes our Way when We carry on with a Godly life 2 Samuel 6:16-23

Scripture Reading 2 Samuel 6:16-23(NIV) 16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal little girl of Saul viewed from a window. What's more, when she saw King David jumping and moving before the LORD, she loathed him in her heart. 17 They brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David relinquished smoldered offerings and partnership offerings before the LORD. 18 After he had wrapped up the smoldered offerings and cooperation offerings, he favored the general population for the sake of the LORD Almighty.

Scripture (Continued) 19 Then he gave a roll of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to every individual in the entire horde of Israelites, both men and ladies. And every one of the general population went to their homes. 20 When David returned home to favor his family unit, Michal little girl of Saul turned out to meet him and stated, "How the lord of Israel has separated himself today, uncovering in seeing the slave young ladies of his hirelings as any obscene individual would!"

Scripture (Continued) 21 David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who picked me instead of your dad or anybody from his home when he delegated me leader over the LORD's kin Israel- - I will celebrate before the LORD. 22 I will turn out to be much more undignified than this, and I will be embarrassed in my own particular eyes. In any case, by these slave young ladies you talked about, I will be held in honor." 23 And Michal little girl of Saul had no youngsters to the day of her demise.

Point # 1 We should not to be astonished by the feedback that comes against us since God's Word affirms of it and life demonstrates it genuine. John 15:18-20 (NIV) 18 "If the world loathes you, remember that it abhorred me first. 19 If you had a place with the world, it would love you as its own. As it seems to be, you don't have a place with the world, yet I have picked you out of the world. That is the reason the world despises you. 20 Remember the words I addressed you: 'No hireling is more prominent than his lord.' If they abused me, they will mistreat you too...

Point # 1 (Continued) 2 Samuel 6:16 (NIV) 16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal little girl of Saul viewed from a window. Also, when she saw King David jumping and moving before the LORD, she scorned him in her heart.

Point # 2 We should not give feedback a chance to make us profoundly withdraw yet rather it should make us propel profoundly. 2 Samuel 6:20-22 (NIV) 20 When David returned home to favor his family, Michal little girl of Saul turned out to meet him and stated, "How the ruler of Israel has separated himself today, uncovering in seeing the slave young ladies of his workers as any profane individual would!" 21 David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who picked me as opposed to your dad or anybody from his home when he selected me leader over the LORD's kin Israel- - I will celebrate before the LORD. 22 I will turn out to be considerably more undignified than this, and I will be embarrassed in my own particular eyes. Be that as it may, by these slave young ladies you talked about, I will be held in honor."

Point # 3 We should oppose the allurement to get back and permit God to do with the faultfinder as He sees fit. 2 Samuel 6:23 (NIV) ,23 And Michal girl of Saul had no youngsters to the day of her demise.

Conclusion Are you going to permit the faultfinder to make you withdraw or would you say you will advance with God? On the off chance that you happen to be the commentator would you say you will begin appealing to God for God to turn your heart?
