Alarmed
4 Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They devour my people as though eating bread;
they never call on the Lord.
5 But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
but the Lord is their refuge. Psalm 14:4-6
What alarms you or overwhelms you? We know that daily the enemy works in secret trying to figure out ways to make us feel dread in our life. Whether it be an illness that seems to not getting better, an important meeting or project at work that seems daunting or an exam coming up that you know there is no way you can handle all the information you have on the test. You can just feel the negativity of that last sentence and how the enemy works to make you feel like you can't do, know, or become who God wants you to be. If you are in the present company of God, how can the enemy touch you with this doubt and dread? The enemy cannot and therein lies the secret. Be ever-present with God in your life and these daunting tasks will seem much more manageable and clear. God loves you and will frustrate the enemy's plan. Live in Him.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
