Today you will encounter those who would harm you, some may do so intentionally others unintentionally. Life would be so much earier if that were not so but that's not the case it is so. Like you the Psalmist who lived long ago discovered even when surrounded by whose who sought him harm could be at peace. People have since preserved his words which I now present them to you. May the Spirit in which the Psalmist penned them fall afresh on you!
"O Lord, so many are against me. So many seek to harm me. I have so many enemies. So many say that God will never help me. But Lord, you are my shield, my glory, and my only hope. You alone can lift my head, now bowed in shame. I cried out to the Lord, and he heard me from his Temple in Jerusalem. Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the Lord was watching over me. And now, although ten thousand enemies surround me on every side, I am not afraid. I will cry to him, 'Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God!' And he will slap them in the face, insulting them and breaking off their teeth. For salvation comes from God. What joys he gives to all his people."
[Psalms 3:1 - 3:8]
Before you close out this email recite the following prayer: O Lord, so many are against me. So many seek to harm me. I have so many enemies. So many say that God will never help me. Lord, you are my shield, my glory, and my only hope. You alone can lift my head, now bowed in shame. I know when I cry out to you Lord you will hear me and when I lay my pain on you I will feel at peace in my heart and I will feel safe because I know you'll be watching over me. And although ten thousand enemies surround me on every side, I will not be afraid.
In Jesus Name, Amen...
Remember Jesus is... ... ...Bigger than life!
