Deliver my
soul from the wicked. Your wisdom is what I seek. The world seems more
dangerous now. With some of the changes in government policies, business
practices, social attitudes, etc., I feel like I’m in a foreign country or
maybe more accurately, a foreign universe. I’m in Blade Runner, Escape
from New York, Hunger Games, some kind of crazy futuristic movie,
only it’s not the future. I’m part of the underground, always have been but now
it’s even more real. God help me to navigate.
I understand
some of the deceptions, some of the dead ends, the trickeries, the lies, but
not all of them. Who can be trained for ALL of them? No one. I tell you, no
one! Without the foresight of the Lord Jesus Christ the living Lord, humanity
hasn’t much of a chance against the wiles of the enemy. Who can know all of his
tricks, all of his hiding places?
Not me. But
my Lord, my mentor, He knows and He teaches me—I need to know. In treacherous
waters, in the valley of the shadow of death, in the present mine field of
iniquity, I need a constant mentor and guide.
The enemy:
always new attacks, new weapons, new strategies. I can no longer entertain the
naïve idea that I can conquer with anything BUT the current download of wisdom
from the omniscient master. It’s too dangerous to even try without Him. Only
with Him can I ford the stream safely, traverse the mine field without
exploding a hidden detonator and breaking in a thousand pieces.
I thank you
God for constant instruction and mercy when I need it.
From Him: “The
battle is on. Engage. And find rest when you can.”
Love,
Carolyn
