Humiliation.’

idolatry for the errant people of Jerusalem.

Humiliation)

win the land.

Who really enjoys a
fight? If we are normal and whole human beings we will not enjoy a fight. Some
of us may have had lives that are tainted by dysfunctional environments, if so
then we often struggle when we find ourselves in a position of potential
conflict. This is when we can really prove God and have His Victory rather than
enter into something that ends up in hurt. Fights always hurt someone.
