Refreshing Daily in God's Word: Daily Devotion: Herod Agrippa I

Good grief, he (Agrippa) sounds just like a politician. And what a horrific way to die. Tragic.

How torturous to live "for" popularity, and the "approval"/"admiration" of others, for it's as fickle and fleeting as man's whims, and just as tragic.

Thank you for this urgent reminder, especially in the "me me me" generation. May God intervene in the tragic quagmire this generation is soo entrapped in. God bless you on this cold-ish and rainy Monday morning, brother.

Thank you Brinny and a good morning to you. God's wheels of justice grind slowly, but they grind surely. I wouldn't want to die that way. Hope you have a blessed Monday!

Than you, and praise God that we are spared that kind of tragedy when we trust in the Lord Who through His grace made a way from that horrific path.

And a very blessed Monday to you as well.
