Stop the madness!
So I read this translation of this verse that I haven't seen before and read into it something entirely new and fresh. Other versions are translated, "What can mere mortals to do me?" or "What can man do to me?" But when I read this version, "What can flesh do to me?" a light bulb went off. Most people, including Christians, walk in the flesh, not the Spirit. So if I experience their flesh coming after me, so to speak, I need to stop short and ask myself, what can their flesh do to me? Plenty! That is, if I am not walking in the Spirit myself. Remember, no good thing dwells in the flesh. So it is like only yucky stuff coming at you when others come against you for no real reason. I don't think most Christians are sensitive enough as to whether or not they are walking in the Spirit or walking to gratify the flesh. Oh they may want to walk in the Spirit because they know that they are supposed to, but how many do you know that actually do? Ot
