Yesterday I was betrayed to the max.  I was dropped flat on my back.  I am not sure if I hit my head or not.  One thing is for sure.  I am so sore that I can barely move.  Getting up in the morning should be a real experience.  I am speaking not of anyone in particular.  I am speaking of my desk chair.  As I was sitting in my chair preparing last evenings sermon I heard a very loud “bang!” and the next thing I knew is that I was on my back looking up at the ceiling.  Thankfully my wife was home sick from work.  She finally came in to find me dazed and laying there still in the part of the chair that I occupied.

I know what you are thinking.  Inanimate objects do not betray our trust nor do they let us down.  Well, my chair threw me down.  It was no easy let down I will promise you.  There are times in life where other people let us down.  What can you do about it.  Nothing.  I know this is not the response we want.  We want to get even.  Well, we want to get ahead really.

Listen as David recounts his own personal betrayal in Psalm 55:12-13, “For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:  But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.”

For me, I try to not over react.  I try to do as Jesus would do and go on.  This is much easier written in a blog like this than to practice it in life.  I must; for the cause of Christ, continue doing what God has called me to do.  There is little time left before the world comes to an end and we all need to get busy for the cause of Christ.

So, how are you doing?
