Who has your back?

Reading: Deuteronomy 33-34, Psalm 35, and Galatians 6

Scripture: Psalm 35:1-3, Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me! Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help! Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers! Say to my soul, “I am your salvation!” 

Thoughts: We are at war, war for the souls of this world. Every day we battle with the influences of the evil one from the most innocent looking cartoon, to the demonized people who are actively working against the kingdom of heaven. Not only are we told to take up God’s armor in Galatians 6 but here in Psalm 35 David is calling for God to come in and kick some butt, and speak to his soul and remind him who is in control and where our salvation comes from. With God’s armor on and God having out back why are we afraid, why do we doubt, why do we worry? Let us walk in the light of his goodness and grace, and in the power and authority we have as sons and daughters of the most high.

Prayer: Father God, I thank you that you are my strength and power to over come all things. You are my salvation. I ask that you open my eyes and give me the discernment to know and understand those things that are coming against me because I’m your child. Lead me and guide me that I may be a vessel of peace, joy and love.
