From today’s reading...
They saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they made a plot to kill him.” Genesis 37:18
Some people—even family members—will not like you just because you exist.
That’s their own damn fault.
While God can and will bring good from their plots, schemes, and attacks, you should still conduct yourself with prudence and diligence.
It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.
David didn’t cry on Goliath’s shoulder and say pretty please hand your people over to us.
Stay the course.
Keep the faith.
Endure.
Market like you mean it. Now go sell something.
