GOD'S WORD: Psalm 54 1SAVE ME, O God, by Your name; judge and vindicate me by Your mighty strength and power.
Hear my pleading and my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers and insolent men are rising up against me, and violent men and ruthless ones seek and demand my life; they do not set God before them. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
Behold, God is my helper and ally; the Lord is my upholder and is with them who uphold my life.
He will pay back evil to my enemies; in Your faithfulness [Lord] put an end to them. 6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks and praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good. 7For He has delivered me out of every trouble, and my eye has looked [in triumph] on my enemies."
SHEEP: I take this Psalm as Your Promise to me. You will destroy the enemies that have come against my body. They were defeated at the Cross.
Everything about me is a concern to you You have paid the price and the enemy of my life is defeated! They have no right. Thank You Jesus It's all for Your Glory.
You are the Reigning King in my life and I praise you. Thank You , Jesus. My life is in your hands. Amen.
