Consider your enemy. He wants to taunt you,
surround you, and thwart your own purpose of finding life, happiness, and
pleasure.
In His way stands God. In Psalm 3 we find,
God is “my shield, my glory, and the lifter of my head”
He buffets the storms that come from the
presence of the evil one.
A little examination shows us that God has
a real agenda with us, that we would rise up above criticism and give us life.
This is “my glory” He is always there to thwart the purposes of our enemy.
I want to ask you a question, what is it
that troubles you? Is it true that there are many who say “there is no help for
Him in God” – an insult to our faith in Him.
You will only find success and pleasure,
and victory in the face of one who buffets all our storms.
Maybe like David you have people that are
not going to go away – to this he reminds himself that God is always there to
help – always an answer in storms.
Don’t think of sin, don’t be anxious over
the weaknesses that you find in yourself – instead put your faith in God your
trust in Him you will be blessed to give up all criticisms and surrender to his
strength in the midst of storms.
Maybe you are going through suffering and
are questioning whether it can be profitable.
The truth is, you are on the winning side –
the words that Jesus spoke to the multitude apply to you – seek first the
Kingdom of Heaven and all these things shall be added unto you.
We have an opposite way of doing things in
the Kingdom. The truth is, life comes from death – he demonstrated it – He lives
in you by His Spirit.
Through suffering comes glory – this is the
way that God will work – though it seems contrary, the truth is found in it all
that He wants you to love Him with abandon through every circumstance that
comes your way, the most you can give God at any time, at this time, is your
love.
That means that though you are suffering,
there is a help from Heaven, there to give you a second chance during your
pressures and pains.
Salvation belongs to the LORD
His blessing is upon His people.
