Never Changes
It is a part of the destiny of all mankind to face battles in life. These battles are spiritual. They can at times overflow into the physical. If we can learn to approach these challenges the right way, we can overcome them in a way that does not leave us so beat up. These same experiences are recorded in scripture. They took place long ago – they are not new and unique to us. Here is one example of how the psalmist responded.
Psalms 9:1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
When we sing praises, we are doing battle. We are turning back the enemy. We are lifting up God over the enemy to crush the enemy. That is a part of our mission. We will be victorious because it has already been decided.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. We search for the peace of Your kingdom. Bless the name Yahuah! You alone can save us. We are cast down, but we do not give up. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Hear our cries, Father. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the destroyer and the thief. The evil has been destroying everything that You have provided, and stealing the rest. Rise up, O Majestic King, and crush this work! Destroy this great evil! Return to us one hundred times one hundred fold what has been destroyed and stolen. Right this wrong quickly, my God and my King Yahuah (Lord). We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
