The Struggle when Enemies Surround you



Verses: Psalms 140: 1 - 13

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.

My thoughts about the verses:

We all have those moments in our life when we feel that we are being surrounded on all sides.  You are in a situation that seems impossible to get out of.  You feel as if you are surrounded on all sides by different issues that have no way to overcome.  You actually feel as if the world is draining the very life out of you.

Isn’t it shocking in those moments that you are so worried about the enemies around you that you forget those that are there to help you.  We forget our friends and family.  We forget most importantly that God is there on our side.  We forget that all we need is right there around us.

We think that the end is coming and all of a sudden we find the hope we need.  We discover that we have the peace we need to survive.  We remember that we are not alone.  We find the strength and comfort that we need to get through all the situations that are affecting us.

We learn that our strength comes from a much higher power than our inner selves.  We discover that when we most need God we find our strength.  We discover that God has always been there.  We realize that our enemies are weak.  We come to the point of understanding that nothing is impossible without God.

Every time we feel alone and lost we only need to call on God.  We see that for every door that is closed there is another opportunity.  We come to see that our God gives us peace and strength.  We do not have to face the world without Jesus.  We may seem like we are in a deep dark tunnel but we all of a sudden see the light at the end of our journey.

It is in those moments that we come to realize that we need to praise our God.  We need to offer up praises to the one that has always been there.  The one that provides our strength and comfort needs to be worshiped.  It is during this praise that our enemies lose their grip and we become the conquerors that God wants us to be.

Prayer:

We praise you God for always being there for us.  We thank you for your strength and wisdom.  We worship you for opening the windows that we need.  Help us always feel your strength.  Help us to remember that you are there with us in our times of need.  In the name of Our Source of Strength we pray.  Amen

Questions:


Have you asked God for help in your times of need?  Have you been surrounded by the impossible but found the light at the end of the tunnel?  Is today the day that you truly turn your whole life over to God?  Is today the day that you praise God for all the help you have received in your life?
