“Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.”
Dragons, we all have them in our lives. You know those people who just irritate us to do and say really stupid things – things that we will have to answer to God for later in heaven!
Our Lord has some very firm words regarding them in Proverbs 26:4:
‘Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
Lest you also be like him.’
Wow! One Dragon in my life is very real and, unfortunately involved in my life to the point where I can’t just not speak to her, but I can choose my actions and words. And as hard as it is to NOT lower myself to her level and say horridly mean things back, I really must not. I must try – as best as I can – to stand clear. Now here’s the hardest part: this person is not bothered in the least by all the mean things she says and does to me, but I, on the other hand, am beside myself after dealing with her.
I need to remember to follow His word and not the gut feeling inside of me. So I guess this post is to me … from God!
But Thou, O Lord, art a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
I was crying to the Lord with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain.
I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me round about.
Psalm 3:3-6
