Psalms 18:25-27

Dear Brethren,

One of the greatest lessons in life is for a person to be treated the way he treats other people. These lessons, like mirrors, allow the viewer to see his true self. At times, these lessons can be reassuring and at other times, they can be quite disturbing, depending upon the reflection. If someone is treating another person badly, then, at somepoint, they will receive the same type of treatment. If a person is kind and helping towards other people, then other people will treat him with kindness and compassion. There are some people who do not understand these lessons of life. They will walk over other people, treating them deceitfully and with contempt. Yet, when the same treatment comes to them, they grow angry and learn nothing from these lessons. As a result, they continue on the path of self-destruction.

The greatest teacher of these lessons is the Lord. The Lord will surely treat people as they have treated others. If a person shows mercy, then the Lord will show that person mercy. If a person is devious, then he will have to deal with or wrestle with the Lord.

Here is Psalms 18:25-27 for your consideration.

25 With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;

26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.

27 For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.

In Love,

John Duvall
