There is some great Godly subterfuge going on today and it reminds us from the saefty of our own country how dangerous it was to exist in the times of the Old Testament. Execution was routine even for things as basic as treason (against whoever was or thought they were in charge) and today we read about two men hiding in a well and the family who hid them there. Praise God for people like this who court rebellion against men in order to be obedient to God.
We also read about Ahithophel who was not too happy about having his advice ignore to the point where he killed himself. For some people, the power of giving advice, especially if it was for someone else to follow, is a staple of life but where it comes from the ego instead of the spirit, it is a poisoned chalice waiting to devour the person who gives it.
