1...Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 2...Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. 3... What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 4... In God I will praise his word, in God have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 5...Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6...They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. 7...Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people O God. 8...Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 9...When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. 10...In Gd will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word. 11...In God have I put my trust I will not be afraid of what man can do unto me. 12...Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. 13...For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
How many are willing to admit our walk with God can be difficult most days? It seems as though my two steps forward toward you and what you have planned for us to do gets trapped by Satan's sole desire..to keep us defeated...not ever so often but every day. The fact is in the midst of his attempt's, God reminds us "trust me and don't worry about what flesh can do because there isn't anything it can do to defeat you.
Believe in the Word that say's "In GOD have I put my trust and will not be afraid of what man thinks he can do to me." Yes, we will be tempted, yes we will be tried, yes Satan has one trick after another but he and his imps are defeated foe's. Keep in your heart Hebrews 13:6 KJV... So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Those of us that have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior have learned what our one goal in life is. To win a lost soul for the kingdom. We are on a mission just like the 70 Jesus prepared for battle. Telling them in Luke 10:2 KJV
The harvest is great but laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.
To the believer, we have what is called a "Blessed Assurance" If God be for us (and He is) who can be against us?" The Apostle Paul told us that in Romans 8 :31 KJV. When challenged by naysayers and those who want us out of the way, remember Romans 8:35 Who can separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress or persecution or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword? 37...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38...For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present nor things to come. 39...Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
When you think the battle is too great, it isn't...we have already won. The song by Jesse Dixon confirms it. His lyrics say...I am redeemed, bought with a price, Jesus has changed my whole life. If anybody asks you, just who I am Tell them I am redeemed.
