Key Verse: Verse 3 – “Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.”
Key Words: Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall
Some people find the negative in everything, even some things which are positive. Here’s an example.
A man and his dog are walking along the beach when they come upon another visitor to the beach. The owner of the dog is proud of his dog’s mastered feat – so he says to the visitor, “Watch this!” He tosses a piece of driftwood far out into the sea and the dog immediately runs on top of the ocean and fetches the wood and runs back. The visitor just shakes his head in disbelief. Whereupon the owner repeats the procedure twice. Finally he asks the visitor, “Did you notice anything unusual?” The visitor responds, “Your dog can’t swim, can he?”
So for all of you who live with, work with, or have to deal with those who find a negative in everything, remember Jesus endured Thomas, the Pharisees and the naysayers. So just be Christ-like and keep your testimony.
