The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
Psalm 9:9
As I have said many times...
Psalm 9:9
As I have said many times...
...it often takes a little word from the Lord to give me a big dose of encouragement, hope, and strength.
Lately I've been neglecting my Journal because of the endless battles and high intensity spiritual warfare that's been going on around me. It seems that in the past two weeks or so, the devil is back with his old tactics, working overtime to try to damage my testimony. May the Lord rebuke that old serpent!
Nevertheless, I am learning to trust in the Lord more, to depend solely upon Him for even my smallest needs. I know that I am in victory through Christ.
The above Scripture from the ninth Psalm blessed me this morning. Many times, a simple verse is all the Lord needs to minister to one of His children. He has been showing me of late what a wonderful and faithful refuge He has been from all the storms and trials, and from all the burdens and cares of this life.
I found myself having to sidetrack a bit this past week in order to attend to some urgent matters. But I know that all things will work together for the good (Romans 8:28). I love the Lord and I know His love for me. Jesus can turn bad things and situations around and bring good out of them all. Amen!
