Grace for your spirit
For when Herod had John arrested he bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip. For John had been saying to him “It is not lawful for you to have her.” Matthew 14:3-4
John the Baptist was jailed and ultimately beheaded because he told Herod the truth. Herod was guilty which caused him to strike out against the messenger of God. Speak up and watch the resistance come from all sides. When people are guilty, they often get mad when confronted. Paul once asked “Have I become your enemy because I told you the truth?” Do we wish the praise of people or the praise of God? Our actions may be proving we really want the praise of men more.
