God Is On Your Side Sis. Stella Dhinakaran

You shall seek them and not find them – Those who contended with you. Those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a non-existent thing. (Isaiah 41:12)
In this world, enemies might rise against you and devise evil plans to hurt you and harm you. Bible also says that our adversary the devil, walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he might devour (1Peter 5:8). During such times, our God of peace is all-powerful to crush and to trample them under your feet (Romans 16:20). He will give you the strength to take victory. Do not give up.

There was a poor man. Because of his poverty, he borrowed money to meet his urgent needs. At the time of getting the loan, the lender spoke to him very sweetly. However, as the days went by, the interest amount went higher and higher. Since, the lender was a wicked person, he wrote false accounts and demanded from the borrower more and more money than what was due to him. The poor borrower could not understand the fraud committed by the lender. When he asked for details and how he arrived at that figure, the lender threatened him with dire consequences. The poor man looked up to God and cried out to Him with a broken heart. He also approached a good Christian lawyer who comforted him saying, “Brother! I know that it is not the true account. I will do my best to help you. But, you keep seeking God through your fervent prayers.”  God heard his prayers and enabled him to receive a fair judgement from the court. The court set right the false accounts and passed a judgement to make him pay only what was legally due to the lender. God by His grace also helped this poor man to get the necessary money to settle his accounts.

Dearly beloved! You too look up to God in the midst of your struggles and burdens. You are sure to receive help from above (Psalm 121:1-2).  If you are undergoing undue suffering, just trust God’s word, which says, “You shall seek them and not find them – those who contended with you. Those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a non-existent thing” (Isaiah 41:12).  God is a God of justice.  He will restore that which belongs to you.  Your faith will be surely honoured.  Do not lose your hope.  Bible strongly says, “What, then, shall we say in response to these things?  If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31).
Prayer:
Precious Redeemer!

I face many struggles and battles in my life. I cannot do anything with my own strength. Therefore, today, I hold on to You to receive Your strength to fight my battles and take victory. Give me Your perfect peace and save me from evil people and the temptations of this world. Bless me abundantly. In the peace-giving name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray,

Amen.
