Psalm 69:1-5 1 Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck. 2 I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me. 3 I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God. 4 Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal. 5 You know my folly, O God; my guilt is not hidden from you.
You know it might seem like dark stormy weather in your life today and you might feel like you’ll never see the light of day again; be confident.
Be confident because your deliverer is on His way. That’s right. Be confident.
When you feel that everything you have is going down the drain; be confident.
When the circumstances in your life are closing in on you, be confident.
When you feel like you have been taken advantage of, be confident.
When you can’t see the end of debt or mess you’re in, be confident.
When you are hurting and suffering and the people you call family and friends can’t help you, be confident.
Be confident that the Lord will see you through that situation.
Just like you, I have experienced those same types of challenges. Let me tell you, you are not alone.
We should not be surprised that these circumstances come into our lives. We should expect them. God’s Word tells us to expect it.
John 16:33In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
We find that even King David experienced trial on top of trial and then more trials. Just like he learned, we too have to learn to be confident in God no matter what and to keep our eyes fixed on Him.
Psalm 27:1 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
We need to trust in the Lord, depend on His goodness, believe in His Word and not doubt when the trials come in like a flood. And they will come.
Remember you have the power of life and death.
Proverbs 18:21 21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
You have to, purposefully choose carefully what will come out of your mouth during the situations in your lives. It is easy to be afraid during a hurricane, a storm, flood, trial or situation. It’s easy and almost natural to complain about this and that, to talk about all that is wrong and staring you in the face today.
Although that may be the natural thing, but as a child of God, the right thing to do is to speak what God says about the situation, to praise Him for what we have and what we do not have. The right thing to do for a believer is to use the power God has given you…it’s in your mouth, it’s near you, even in your heart and you need to let it overflow up and out of your mouth. It’s time you rise up above the situation.
Isaiah 55:11 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Our confession should be…
Psalm 23:4 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Simply put, with God we are well protected, we are set free and nothing shall harm us. Nothing can stop us. HALLELUJAH!
Our actions should be to stop seeking for an answer to our questions and situations but to start seeking more of the Lord who is the answer.
Psalm 27:4 4 One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Let me ask you this…
What have you been seeking lately?
What have you been focused on today?
What is taking up your time with God?
I want to encourage you to be confident of this: You will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (that means today). So wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart. Praise Him, sing a new song and give Him shouts of joy and victory for your deliverer is on his way.
May God bless you,
