~ When the Whole World Has Come Against Us! ~
from Dr Skye
We have all experienced a little wickedness that comes against us from others; from some family members, neighbors, and those in power over us. We get to the point of, "Why, Lord, could people be so evil set against me?" We have been gossiped, back bitten, openly insulted, and verbally attacked. Some might have even been attacked physically, with malice afore thought.
This makes us feel the whole world is against us. "What is the use to go on?" and "Why, even, try anymore!" We might be like King David, in Psalm 109, whereby so many had harmed him, with the aid of Satan and his demons. Even King Saul attempted to capture him and take his life, with the purpose of destroying him.
We, then, can be able to see the cross with Jesus on it, in agony, as He hung there for us. How He looked out on the crowd with compassion and mercy as He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know what they do" ... the insults, beatings, berating, cursings, and reviling with mockery.
David said, in Psalm 109:21, "But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me!" David prayed for deliverance because He knew the Lord and His wonderful mercy, and His power to deliver in times of danger. He knew the power of our Father's divine protection and provision!
"Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
That they may know that this is thy hand: that thou, Lord, has done it."
Psalm 109: 26-27
So, when we find ourselves in like manner, remember He is able to save to the uttermost, in the most dire circumstance. Nothing can harm you, with our Father's divine protection, provision, through the Holy Spirit and His Word! He will speak to you at the time you need it the most and in the Word that you have known almost all your life. You will know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, of His amazing deliverance.
When you are delivered, remember who did it for you and give Him, totally, your life. He will abundantly bless and, as you humble yourself like unto 1 Pe. 5:6, you will have the most exciting life the remainder of your earthly life, with super abundance of blessings. His deliverance is guaranteed because of His blood covenant with you, in the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
