Winning Workplace Wars

Life they say is a battlefield from birth to death. Workplace is where man tries to earn a living and there is a constant struggle for survival there like in any other part of life. As a shepherd in training David battled wild animals to protect his father's flock that he was looking after. When God took him from there to become king of Israel, he had to wage another kind of battle. It was where the priest Ahimelech was doing his legitimate job that David and Doeg visited and that visit led to the cutting short of Elimelech's life alongside that of his family and relatives and their possession in a single day. This is even though he was engaged in God's work or sacred service rather than secular work. Ecclesiastes 10:9 means there is life-threatening risk in all human endeavours anywhere under the sun. Luke 24:19-20 and Acts 10:38-29 say the fact that Jesus spent all His time going about doing good did not stop some from battling Him to death before God raised Him to life after three days. I1 Samuel 7:8-9 and 1 Chronicles 17:7-8 say the journey from humble background to greatness is fraught with enemies (who must be battled and defeated) that require God's intervention to remove the enemies for the journey to be successful. If God had not intervened David would not have completed his victoriously.
