This is true…a lie that is told to us.
Psalm 3:2
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God.
That thought wasn’t from Jesus! It was from the deceiver.
Sometimes we get so stuck in the mud of our own sin, a life of distractions from God, and giving in to our flesh desires, our wicked hearts, and our pride. God didn’t make this mess we are today, but provided a way out of our mess.
King David should know! And He tells us His from His vast experience walking with and running from God because of his sin…
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
God has already won this war. We just can’t see it we are so tarred and feather in our own life of sin in the flesh. We believed the lie that we were once innocent, that we were born good. The Bible says we were neither.
It’s about time we realize our problem isn’t our spouse, or our physical condition, our financial condition, where we live or what happened to us because of the dogs that bit us through short lives (compared with eternity) – it’s the devil. He is the problem! We are infected by him. We listen to his lies and we have conversation and intercourse with him instead of our Heavenly Father.
King David is right. my God has smitten all mine enemies! and broken the teeth of the ungodly… That’s right they got no bite anymore in my life… why? Because SALVATION BELONGETH UNTO THE LORD!
START thinking like it instead of just saying you believe it. And you can be free of those toothless dogs that hound you.
