Like King Xerxes we all sometimes find ourselves on the receiving end of hatred and evil plans. We have enemies, as Christians. There are people who do not like us because of our faith, and there are people who do not like because they don't like anyone. Regardless of the circumstances the fact remains that there are people in the world who, for one reason or another, want to do us harm. The first thing we can do in that type of situation is turn it over to God and trust that he will take care of those who would wish to hurt us. This is not a guarantee, though. Then comes the second thing: to remember that there is nothing anyone can do to hurt our soul. That has been claimed by God. They may use words, they may even use weapons, but they cannot hurt the part of us that God has claimed for himself. God bless you.
