“1.Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 2. Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: 3. Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: 4. That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 5. They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? 6. They search out iniquities: they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart is deep. 7. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. 8. So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. 9. And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God: for they shall wisely consider of his doing. 10. The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.”
There are many Christians today that try hard to serve God, one fault that is easy to have is serving in the flesh and not the Spirit. This world is cursed and full of sin, every direction you turn sometimes can seem like a rough road, but God is always there watching over His children and guiding them when they seek for the right direction. We can see that even in king David’s life there was fear. When doing right and living for Jesus there will always be persecution, but know that God has a scripture and plan to overcome it all. The Bible tells us in Matthew to “love your enemies.” How is it possible to love someone that wishes wrong upon you? If your trying to serve God in the flesh, meaning your own way, its not possible to love your enemies. The natural reaction is to always fight back. God gave us His Word to deal with the difficult things we face. There are many souls bound for hell,
and believers must live differently. Romans 12:19 “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written: Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” God will always deal with the enemy, but we have to let Him deal with them. II Timothy 2:3 “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” God will deliver you, He cant fail! If your going through difficulty in serving the Lord, know that God is trying your faith to make you the best you can be for Him!
