Are You Persecuted?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who in the face of persecution persist in their faith. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ever felt like someone is out to get you, and that that someone is almost about to succeed?
In Ancient Israel we learn of a similar situation in Psalm 119:86-87 (ESV) where the persecutors are about to prevail.
“All your commandments are sure;
they persecute me with falsehood; help me!
They have almost made an end of me on earth,
but I have not forsaken your precepts.”
Even in the face of the adversity, the psalmist maintains firm reliance on God’s commandments and precepts.
Do the attacks seem relentless?
Even in the face of adversity, stay focused on God’s word.
