Your Defender

“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.
Isaiah 54:17

It may seem that the forces and circumstances aligned against you are overwhelming today. Perhaps there are powerful people who are attempting to undermine you or there are others who are spreading ugly rumors about you that aren’t true. It could even be that you’ve taken a stand for Christ and are being persecuted because of it. At such times take heart—your life is in God’s hands. He is your Defender. Nothing can touch you that He doesn’t first allow for your benefit.

Friend, keep your heart clean before God and remember His promise, “They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you” (Jeremiah 1:19). Your hope, your defense, your vindication, and your future are all in the hands of the Lord God Almighty. The people and challenges aligned against you cannot overpower Him. Trust Him. No matter what comes, He will bring good from it.

Lord, I will trust You. You have my next steps planned and no one can thwart Your eternal purposes, amen.

In His presence… find security for the future.

EVERY DAY IN HIS PRESENCE, CHARLES F. STANLEY
