THOUGHTS….
June 17, 2020
So I was settling into my reading time in the morning and as I began with Psalm 68 – a song of David. It begins…. “May His enemies be scattered.”
It jumped off the page at me and I let my thoughts wonder. Why does God have enemies? What has He done to deserve that? God is a good God and anything He has ever done has been for our good and betterment. And He gave us His best and most costliest gift – His Son.
My mind went to the scripture in Matthew 13:27,28 “ So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’
Sometimes we forget – AN ENEMY HAS DONE THIS. Satan is the “father of all lies” and he has spent millennia sowing lies about our Father God and His Son and Kingdom. Our world is clouded by lies and this is what we must fight.
It is easy to look around at this upside down culture and throw our hands up and cry – “but what can I do about it?” Well my friend – that is a GREAT thing we can do!!! Share the TRUTH. “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”(John 8:32) We can help to free people by speaking and living God’s Truth and undoing the lies Satan and his followers have sown. In any way you can!!
There is something we can do – speak, share, live the truth contained in God’s Word and it will do the rest. “It shall not return void”.
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
God bless your day!
