Sometimes the devil creates a problem involving a different person to give you problems. This I believe happened today with a troublesome neighbor. I walk in the morning for exercise, and I pass one apartment {It's a development}. This lady sits or stands outside, sometimes sitting on a high wooden stool. There's room to pass by, but today it was her, her husband, and the wooden stool, {and saying "excuse me" is useless}, so it wasn't so easy to get around them. So maybe I grumbled something under my breath (after all, it's a walkway, not a hangout, especially 2 abreast and a high wooden stool). So she waited like a vulture for me to walk close by again, then gave me an argument, like I'm "harassing her" because I didn't look the other way about her abusing her rights. So now, God didn't give us the spirit of fear, and we're not supposed to let the devils crowd scare us off, (Also, I live here and it IS a walkway.) But on the other hand, we're not supposed to PUT OURSELVES in an inflammatory situation, so prayers for wisdom to "walk that tightrope."
