Good morning, sweet sisters,
Holding you close to my heart and thanking God for this privileged place to pray for you.
I was digging in Psalm 59 today….
As you wrestle with flesh and blood: in your congregation, your health issues, your children, your spouse, your neighbor, your employer, your every day circumstances….may you be reminded that scripture makes it clear that our battle is not with flesh and blood but with the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Eph 6:12)
| Enemy: | GOD: | Me: |
| Rises up against you | To the enemy: | Watch for God |
| Lies in wait | Punishes | Sing of God’s strength |
| Conspires | Shows no mercy | Sing of God’s love |
| Ready to attack | Laughs | Sing praises to God |
| Returns | Scoffs | |
| Snarls like a dog | Makes them wonder about | |
| Prowls | Brings them down | |
| Spews words | Consumes them | |
| Spews words like swords | God Makes known to the ends | |
| Gets caught in pride | of the earth that God rules over his people | |
| Slanders you | To Me: | |
| Curses | Delivers me | |
| Lies | Protects me | |
| Wanders about | Saves me | |
| Howls when not satisfied | Helps me | |
| Returns again and again | Looks on my plight | |
| My strength | ||
| Goes bf me | ||
| My fortress | ||
| My loving God | ||
| My shield | ||
| My refuge | ||
| My God |
Psalm 58:4,5 “Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears, that will not heed the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be.”
Father, May it not be so in my heart. Remove any venom, pride, self righteousness on my part.
Unstop my ears…..may I hear and heed to your music. May I dance a worship dance of obedience before you, for your pleasure.
In the battle you find yourself, may you watch for your God and sing to Him.
