As we enter into this world we immediately have an enemy. The evil one locks in on every new born and begins his battle plan. We live through life and experience the good and the bad, but for some reason, for all of us, our bad seems so dark. It is true what is tough and scary for me may not even be a problem for you, but none the less its the same the other way around. We all struggle, but not everyone knows how to fight, when it comes to this world and the prince of the air, as he is called. I have always tried my way first when it has come to fighting the darkness of my world and as you can imagine I have lost horribly every time. It is by God’s Grace that I am not dead or in jail. It is by His Hand that I have been protected. However, there is more to this and it is beautiful. It is God who AVENGES me! He not only protects, but God, Jesus and the Legions of Angels are at my call. They are here to Avenge us, to fix the wrong doing thoughts and keep us close to them.
As humans, we can always seem to find trouble or trouble can find us. We need an Avenger if you will… It is out of Psalm 18 verse 47(a) that says: “It is God who avenges me.” There is nothing more comforting, when we truly let God settle around us and Christ in us. Stop trying to fight on your own, stop trying to get your get back, LET GOD AVENGE YOU! Sit in His presence even when it doesn’t feel good. It is in those moments that He moves from the side of us and to the front and the battle begins. This is when as it says in Psalm 23:5(a)You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies! Listen to that, while the enemies of this world who are against us, both flesh and spirit are getting ready to pounce, YHWH says, when we allow Him to Avenge us, we can sit at the table and feast because our enemies will not come near us. I have learned to trust God so much more this year but I long for the days when I can live without any doubt that God not only Loves me, but truly brings me peace as HE avenges me! Amen
One Love, One King, All Christ!
