Recently a chain of events have taken place that unbeknownst to me was designed to TAKE ME OUT...in various areas of my life. My initial revelation of these events brought about anger, confusion, fear, and anxiety. None of which are emotions that God intended me to experience. I had to stop and think for a minute and remind myself that regardless of the tactics of the enemy I serve a God that loves me and will not allow any weapon formed against me to defeat me. My reaction could have been to act out...but I instead chose to pray. And that's what God expects from us because He is here to fight against the enemy on our behalf. Don't believe me?
Psalms 37 reads: "Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither. Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm. For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land. Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone. The lowly will possess the land and will live in peace and prosperity. The wicked plot against the godly; they snarl at them in defiance. But the Lord just laughs, for he sees their day of judgment coming. The wicked draw their swords and string their bows to kill the poor and the oppressed, to slaughter those who do right. But their swords will stab their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich. For the strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the Lord takes care of the godly. Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever. They will not be disgraced in hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough. But the wicked will die. The Lord ’s enemies are like flowers in a field— they will disappear like smoke. The wicked borrow and never repay, but the godly are generous givers. Those the Lord blesses will possess the land, but those he curses will die. The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread."
So when we are operating in God and according to His perfect plan and will for our lives He will continue to take care of us. He will take care of those who attempt to bring us down as well and continue to remove those hindrances from our lives...the Bible says that they'll disappear and we'd wonder whatever happened to...? So as believers we must make sure that we are doing the will of God and all will be taken care of. Do you believe it? I DO!
Be Blessed!
