“Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.” Psalm 35:4
There is nothing more devastating to the soul than when we face opposition, especially when our only desire is serving the LORD. It is difficult to live life in peace when we are opposed by others that do not understand it is God that is using us. If we are not careful, we get an attitude of, who cares. The fact is, GOD cares!
When we face such peril, we must do as David did and ask for the intervention of God, this is our only hope. We can fuss and fight with our opposition on our own, but we will never be successful. We can whine and fret, have a pity party and we will be of no use to ourselves or anyone else. We need the help of the one that knows and has the ability to make the changes we so desperately need. Only the LORD can accomplish this.
It is much better to have the attitude of endurance no matter the opposition. We continue in the calling GOD has given us and allow the LORD to take care of those that oppose and discourage.
LORD, help us not to be a part of the opposition but to be of those that encourage others that strive to serve You. AMEN
I felt the shadows sneaking in,
With the opposition’s threats.
Depression flowing in my soul,
And yet, I have no regrets.
It’s not a battle I can fight,
The thoughts they hurt me so.
Thank God I have a Savior dear.
To whom I can always go.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12
