God's protection

Wow did we have some elctricity flowing throught the air last night from some storms! Been a long time since I seen the sky light up like that! Thank you Lord for the protection and rain we needed it! That leads us to today's verse:

Psalm 63

9 But those who seek my life, to destroy it,
Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword;
They shall be a portion for jackals.

David was a man who stood for God but that lead him into many situations where people wanted to take his life as we see in verse 9. For us we may not be in danger of losing our life for our beliefs but there are plenty who want to destroy our belief in Christ and the Word of God on which we stand. Since the Word of God has been put to pen thier have been folks trying to destroy it and the people trying to spread the Word but guess what the Word lives on! Folks have been killed for spreading the Word but guess what??? They live on in the kingdom of heaven. For all those people who try to destroy us we need to pray for them as God's word tells us to pray for our enemies. For those who never come to belief in Jesus and repent of their ways it is clear there is a place for them in eternity whcih verse 9 talks about....the lower parts of the earth also know as hell. So when we are being destroyed remember the destinations of the believer and the non-believer it is a definite encouragement for those who believe!

Verse 10 talks bout whn David was fighting for hsi life what would happen to those who came against him. They often fell by the sword and weere left for the jackels. Here I think of the United States. We were once a Christian nation and when we defended ourselves many fell to the sword. Now as our morals have turned as a whole we must be careful that we do not fall by the sword. We need a revival in this land in a bad way. Can it be done? Yes! But it takes a nation to fall on its kness, repent, and turn back to God and get in His Word. Be in prayer that this happens in our life time. If it doesn't can you imagine what this nation will be like for our chilrdren and grandchildren...Oh my, God have mercy on us.

Pray hard today....for our President and nation.
