The Pilot and the Plot

UV 3659/10000 The Pilot and the Plot Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me. Psalm 138 v 7 David confesses in this uni-verse that the Lord being in His midst, and though he walks in the midst of troubles, He will revive him. The Lord shakes His mighty hand against the plans or plots of our enemies, mortal and spiritual, temporal and eternal. His hand is upon us and He will save us. Though scores and hundreds or even a battalion rises against us, the Lord is with us as a mighty fortress. We need to be humble and faithful and the Lord assures us He will be with us. His power will be manifest, His grace will be released. The next verse states that the Lord will accomplish that which concerns us. It implies that whatever we attempt, it is the Lord who accomplishes it in our lives. He will never abandon us nor fail us. We need, therefore, to be bold, fearless, confident, faithful and submissive to the will of the Lord. The Lord will subdue in due time the envious, the wicked, those who speak and do evil against us. He is our glory or the source of our greatness and upliftment. Our enemies will melt like wax or become weak in the presence of the Lord. The Lord will neutralize their weapons and judge their tongues for unjustly condemning or accusing or attacking us. We are called to be in the world but not of the world. We should not imitate the ways of our enemies by reacting in the flesh or acting or speaking as they do. Instead, we should be in the word and of the word. The word will straighten our attitudes or our hearts. The word will teach us the ways of the Lord. If the world can be compared to a leech that sticks to our skin, the word is the salt that makes the leech to release its tentacles on us. The word helps us navigate all terrains and landscapes of life. The Lord pilots us and does not plot against us.
