A
reminder for today
Declare
me not guilty, O LORD my God, for you give justice. Don't let my enemies laugh
about me in my troubles. (Psalm 35:24)
I find myself in a puddle of mud today as I once more
have fallen to the misguided and foolish misdirection of a relentless enemy. I
can feel how they are mocking me and accusing me. They are laughing at me for I
have fallen in their trap and they have intensified their attacks, because I
can feel how my mistake now weighs heavily on my shoulders and how they just
seem to draw all they can from it.
I feel how David’s words have been on my lips all day and
how I so need the Lord to declare me not guilty and give me justice over the
enemy and their constant attacks.
Then I remembered that the Lord came for just that reason
and no matter how far I have fallen, He will always pull me back and set me on
the right path. My journey is not over nor is the fight in me, even when I feel
that I have reached my end and that I have no more answers. I know that I do
not need to find the answers, because He knows them and when I am accused and criticised
by the enemy I must remain focussed on Him. In Him lies my strength and my
forgiveness.
I should not listen to the accusations of the enemy. I should
humble myself and seek His presence. I should let the power of His Spirit renew
me and guide me back on my path and on my journey. I should not give up, but I should
keep the faith and stand up once again. Like so many times before…
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
As you say, we should have faith, seek His presence and trust in God completely. We cannot rely on our own strength and we should seek God in every situation. I think it is also very important to surround ourselves with people that pray for us, build us up, encourages us, help us to see when we cannot and help us to stay focused on Christ.
