Text: Psa.60:11
More Lessons: Exo.14:21-27
In Heb.13:5b the Bible says;…for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. This means that you will I never walk alone because the Lord that overcame will never let you go on alone or forsake you to be overcome by the enemy. The word “ Never” creates one of the most reliable strengths and confidence of the New Testament church. The reality is that God is always there for His children even in the darkest of nights and He knows the facts and figures of what we go through.
What great surge of joy permeates my heart to think that God knows every detail about my life and He will never abandon me to the hands of my enemy! Some of the anxieties that cause high blood pressure today are traced to our response to issues of life as people of little or no faith. It is an act of unbelief to panic at the slightest pain and challenge when God is on your side .Truth is progressive. There are truths and greater truths. Our text advocates a greater truth than we formerly knew when we first believed that there could be trouble in the life of a believer. In fact, the decision to walk with Jesus will put you on the black list of the devil.
The reason the enemy is mad and seeking to devour any one that bears the mark of Jesus Christ is because, he remembers the great, irrevocable and eternal loss his kingdom incurred when Jesus defeated him openly over 2000years ago! Col.2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. The word of God never asks us to pray trouble way. Our text proves to us that trouble is not always a product of sin, but it is inevitable to all of us, at one time or the other. So it is not an act of faith to lie or fake it when we are going through hard times. What we are instructed to do is know that our God will deliver us from whatever trouble we may face.
This is our greatest confidence is tackling the issues of life. The devil is a defeated foe and all his schemes against your life are wasted because your help in the time of trouble is God all by Himself! Whenever it seems like all hell breaks loose and trouble faces you headlong, all you have to do is face God with everything. Psa.34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. If you will only look to Jesus, He will be your way maker, today and always!
