Area of Unbelief #1: Disapproval and Division

King David had a wife, Michal, who was disapproving and critical of him. She was embarrassed by David and despised him in her heart because she thought he was not sophisticated enough. In verse 20 of today’s Scripture reading, she mocked him with sarcasm: “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants . . .” The passage ends by stating that Michal never had children, maybe because King David never went to her again. 

Has anyone criticized you? Have you ever criticized anyone? If we are going to start criticizing people, we are going to have problems. I think we have to be honest, but we do not have to be critical. Speak the truth in love and use the opportune time. Do not come out always criticizing. 

“I do not like this.” 

“They should not have said that.” 

“They did not do this for me.”  

Also, do not listen to the criticism of others. There are some people that can always tell you the negative about everyone and everything that is going on. But, you do not have to listen. Your ears are not garbage pails. 

Do not criticize and do not listen to someone else criticize. It creates division and it does something to you. Michal lost her opportunity for a child. I wonder how many things happen to us because of a critical mouth? How many marriages have been hurt by such disapproval? When we get a critical attitude, we get out of faith, so start burying it now. 

Ask yourself: Has having a critical attitude cost me anything in the past? Do I have a critical attitude of anyone right now?
