Rebuke Evil And Trust God

Psalms 55:16-23


"As for me, I will call upon God,
And the Lord shall save me.
17 Evening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me.
19 God will hear, and afflict them,
Even He who abides from of old. Selah
Because they do not change,
Therefore they do not fear God.
20 He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him;
He has broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
But war was in his heart;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.
22 Cast your burden on the Lord,
And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
23 But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction;
Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days;
But I will trust in You."


Only God can save us from our world.  Things today are in dire need of God's assistance, and by calling on Him with a pure heart can this matter be turned around.  David said, he will call upon the Lord, morning, noon, and night.  David put all is trust in God to deliver him from his enemies, and He did.  I to can relate to his plea for help because I was there.  God says, if we will call upon Him in a time of need, He will deliver us.  However, we must call upon Him with a pure and honest seeking heart.  We must be desperate children lost in this wilderness and wanting our Father's attention and guidance.  Denounce all evil and cling to what is good God desires, and be led out.  God or His Son will not be taken advantage of.  He will also chastise us, as He places us upon the rock of salvation.  Our words and actions today are far off the mark of God.  Holy, pure, righteous, loving souls, is what God is looking for.  Though, anger, malice, confusion, and backbiting is all we do, and the fear of God plays no part.  We are in a wilderness full of evil, and we're taking money building through it, like it will all disappear.  Only God can make these demons tremble, and are obedience to His word.  (Psalms 91:3-9)  "Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place."  Rebuke evil and trust God.

(Ephesians 2:11-13)  "Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ."

Blessings to all who draw near in the blood of Christ,
