When enemies hound us!

20 Feb When enemies hound us!

We all have enemies. Powerful and rich men too have them

🎯Even after his anointing to be king, David had them.

🎯A whole king was an enemy, and David was fleeing for his life.

🎯Trying to escape the relentless pursuit of King Saul, he hid in a cave.

🎯Still feeling vulnerable, he wrote, “”He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me – God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.”

🎯Conscious of his urgent need for God’s help, he cried out for mercy.

🎯He had nowhere else to turn. David took refuge in the shadow of His wings.

🎯There, he would stay until the threat had passed and God vindicated him.

🎯David was conscious that God would save him from “those who hotly pursue me.”

🎯The Hebrew word here suggests being hounded and chased by a person breathlessly determined and motivated by intense anger.

🎯This surely describes the way Saul was pursuing him.

🎯We feel vulnerable many ways.

💥We might feel chased, backed into a corner, and not sure what to do.

💥We might feel pursued by people seeking to silence our testimony.

💥When we can’t find peace and when others twist our words, we feel overwhelmed.

🎯As David discovered, in moments like these we need to turn to God.

🎯Cry out for His help; remember His promises; remember we can find refuge in Him, even when we can’t seem to find peace in the world.

🎯As David discovered, God can send forth His love and faithfulness because He loves us, and He is faithful.
