SHAKE OFF CRITICISM

SHAKE OFF THE CRITICISM
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. Acts 28:3,5

If someone is looking down on you, just know you are more than that person, walk away and do not be offended, shake it off, if they criticize you or jealous of you. Jesus told the disciples if you preach in any city and they do not understand you or take your message He told them to shake off the dust of their shoes. The same way if people are against you, judge you, envy you or speak against you shake that off and walk away and do not allow that to weigh you down. Paul shook the snake that bit him into the fire and felt no hurt. People thought he was going to die but he kept on in his business. We should act the same way when people attack us, just shake if off you. Those who speak against you are always at your back. You do not criticize those under you, for people to gossip about you means you are greater and better than them. What you should do with those kind of people is to love them and pray for them. What they did might hurt you but throw it away and forgive then and you’ll be blessed.
