Exodus 23:27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
Praise the Lord!!
Today we will meditate upon the benefits of serving the Lord. Exodus 23 explains many benefits while serving the Lord. As I was meditating the verse that caught my attention is the above. Which shows the prowess of the Lord. Like a mighty General of a Army Lord says if you serve him three things will happen in your life.
1. He will send fear of Him before you.
2. He will destroy anyone who will come against you.
3. He will make the enemies turn their back and run away.
Let's meditate who is our enemy? Who would be constantly thinking to battle with me? Who would have all the time in the world to lay a conspiracy against me?
Job 1:12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Scripture says Satan is our enemy who would constantly think of troubling you through temptations and trials. You would think your brother or that person had something against you. No!! It is Satan, we don't have enemies in flesh and blood but they are used by our enemy Satan.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Saints, scripture says today as we serve him, that person that troubles you in your ministry, in your workplace, in your relationship will be taken care by the Lord. Many time we get dejected and are low thinking what is the use of all this labour.
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
God knows your troubles, your patience in him. He is not a silent spectator or a teacher of a examination as some people thinks but he is a General of a mighty Army who would enter the fire along with you like he entered in the furnace alongside Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Yes!!! Our Lord will never leave or forsake you. Quit thinking you are alone. As you pray today believe that he has answered the prayers.
As it is written
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
God bless
