The psalmist says that fire goes before
you,
consuming your adversaries on every side,
but that is not the way you want us
to deal with our adversaries.
Paul and Barnabas shook the
dust off their feet in protest
against their adversaries
and went to another city.
David had King Saul in his power,
yet sent his enemy safely away.
Sow your seeds of love and forgiveness
in our hearts, even for our adversaries.
