"by S.M. Davis
38 min. & 52min. The person who ""gives in"" rather than
demanding his rights is usually thought of as being the
weaker. In reality, the more spiritually mature person
will usually be the one who yields his rights. The man
who ""wins"" when his personal rights have been violated
is really the ""loser."" In Gen. 26 Isaac had settled in
Gerar and needed water. He had his servants dig a well.
It was long, hard, dangerous, backbreaking work. Then the
herdmen of Gerar said ""the water is ours."" And Isaac said
to his men, ""It's alright, fellows. DIG ANOTHER WELL!""
Incredibly, the same thing happened a second time! The
3rd well was named ""Rehoboth"" meaning ""ample room."" The
committed Christian should always ask, ""Is this for me &
my rights or for God & His rights?"" Defend God's rights.
Yield your's. THE CHRISTIAN'S GREATEST RIGHT IS THE RIGHT
TO NOT DEMAND HIS RIGHTS."
