But the Lord is My Defense

But the Lord is My Defense

But the LORD has been my defense; and my God the rock of my refuge. (Psalm 94:22)

When you get ready to really live for God, you are going to face three enemies. You are going to face those who are in

Despair-

They are going to be howling calamity. You are going to face those with disdain – they are going to laugh at you. And you’re going to face those with

Discouragement –

They are going to say that it can’t be done. And you better learn to silence their voices. How do you do that? Get alone in the secret counsel halls of the Almighty and get your eyes on God. If you listen to what those people say, you’re not going to be victorious in what God
is calling you to do.

I believe David conquered Goliath because he got alone with God.

I believe Joseph survived abandonment and imprisonment because he got alone with God.

So you need not live with disappointment for God is your-

Defense!

“Write on a piece of paper those people in your life who laugh at you, those who tell
you to give up, and those who tell you it can’t be done and those who constantly trouble you and torment you..

Now, lift them up to God for Him to silence them and give you the strength to love them.” (Adrian Rogers).
