In early 2001 some towns in India were stricken by a plague of monkeys.
The monkeys were so numerous they would invade homes, bite people, and make off with food supplies.
It was agreed the monkey’s would have to be caught and relocated.
The people in these towns resorted to a traditional method for catching them.
They gathered their old milk bottles, tied them to the ground, and then placed something sweet such as a lolly inside the bottle.
Then when a monkey comes along and sees the sweet he places his hand inside the bottle, but with the sweet enclosed in his palm his fist is too big to get back out the bottle.
Our monkey will pull and push in an effort to get that sweet out, but he will not let it go, not even as his captors approach.
And so the monkey is caught, literally with his hand in the lolly jar!
Application: Bitterness, forgiveness: unless we let go of our hurts and bitterness we will become trapped by the past, wanting to move forward yet unable to.
Yet this is difficult, as we find it perversely attractive to hold onto our pain and bitterness.

Pericopes: Saul’s Growing Fear of David
Saul’s son, Jonathan became very close with David
Whatever mission Saul send him on, David was so successful that he gave me him high rank in the army
The women were chanting and cheering for David
1 Samuel 18:
King Saul sought to kill David
His anger turned to bitterness
“Anger delayed indefinitely results to bitterness”
So the 5th in our list of biblical ways How to Keep Our Cool is...

6.

7. Request God’s Help
Prayer
God’s goodness knows no bounds
His goodness never stops

His kindness fills our lives
His love amazes us
