God is Faithful

"LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah
But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah
I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around. Arise, O LORD; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah"

Psalm 3:1-8

My head and my heart were full of self-pity only a few moments ago...I arrived at the point where I was tempted to ask of God..."why me?" But then my best friend, my wife, reminded me that it was the Word I needed to turn to during this time. And so I opened up my Bible...I confess that I did a very charismatic thing and just flipped it open! :) Where did I open the Word to? Well obviously to the words above! And what a comfort they are! Come what may, whatever challenges lie before me, I will NOT return evil for evil. I will rest upon His Word and know that He is with me. Even more, as hard as it is for a man walking within this fallen flesh to wish it so, I pray that He will turn this situation into an opportunity for bringing another of His lost sheep into the fold. May it be so. What does it matter if the whole world turns against me? I serve the Almighty God, and He has blessed me with a family that loves me.

Come what may...He is MY God! :)
