Stay strong! Let's be patient during these final moments, while we face rough times and evil attacks. Let's stay focused on our Blessed Hope, knowing the Lord will soon rescue us from these evil waters and take us home to His heavenly kingdom! Hold tight, eyes on Jesus!
Just as David awaited deliverance from his enemies, we're anticipating that He descends from heaven to rescue us from the waters of this evil and sinful world. He will deliver us from our enemies, from those who genuinely hate us and can't wait for us to be gone!
From Psalm 18: "He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me. For they were too strong for me."
Let scoffers continue to scoff, mockers persist in their mockery, and insults keep coming. Similarly, let false teachings, false teachers, and false prophets continue to speak. These are nothing but the fulfillment of prophecies, and there's no way to stop them! Let the Lord take care of them!
"It is God who avenges me, And subdues the peoples under me; He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man. Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name." Psalm 18:47-49
Remember that The Lord attentively listens to our cries even as we find ourselves in the depths of despair. He observes the ungodliness that engulfs this evil and sick world around us.
"The pangs of death surrounded me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears."
BUT He will not hesitate to do justice!
"Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry. Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down With darkness under His feet."
AND He will come, bringing rewards for all of us who have become righteous through the blood of Jesus. David was looking forward to the cross, and we look backwards to it!
It's always been the blood of Jesus Christ that has made us righteous!
"The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, And have not wickedly departed from my God. For all His judgments were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me. I was also blameless before Him, And I kept myself from my iniquity. Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight."
This is what we sing along with David!
"I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies."
LET'S NOT LOSE HEART - GOD IS NOT LATE, HE IS PATIENT AND MERCIFUL — AND HE'S COMING!!
