David's son Absalom staged a coup against his father.

David's son, Absalom, staged a coup against his father...
David escaped from the castle.
However, Shimei, who disliked David, seized the opportunity to hurl insults at him and cursed him relentlessly.
...Meanwhile, David accepted Shimei's curse without flinching, believing that the Lord had given him permission to curse him.
He believed that the day would come when the Lord would turn that curse into blessing.
...In conclusion,
The Lord gave David wisdom, a helper, and restored him to the throne.
…Absalom, who staged a coup, was killed…
Shimei, who cursed David…
Those curses fell upon him… and he met his death…😓
…Around us… there is a growing trend of attacking and hurting others.
…David… entrusted judgment to the Lord.
Also…
Even when insulted…🤔 he did not insult back,
and trusted in God that if he remained sincere,
God would eventually do what was best❗️
…This is the way to transform human insults and curses into blessings and joy from the Lord.
Shalom😃
