“Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be over past. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. He shall send from heaven, and save from the reproach of him that would swallow me up.  God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. Psalms 57:1-6

Troubles Come into our Lives due to multiple reasons. Generally,we have troubles cropping up IN A ROW ( where we live – within relative circles – in work place-or due to the targeted attack of the evil power (satan).  Three causes of trouble in the lives of good people:

•         THE BITTER REPROACHES OF OUR ENEMIES

“the reproach of him that would swallow me up” Every person who follows God will have enemies. When we stand on a strong principle to follow, the fear of God in the heart will prevent us from taking sides of evil doers, and when we are governed by the Word of God – The world will focus you as a bad person and you have enemies.

•        THE FIERCE CRUELTY OF OUR ENEMIES

Enemies as being lions set on fire to destroy him, as men whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongues are as swords. It is more than just simple cruelty; it is a greedy desire to full fill their desire of attaining power. They were like wild creature going after the prey, blind folded.

•          THE SUBTLE SCHEMES OF OUR ENEMIES

“They have prepared a net for my steps” - Enemies may develop plans to entangle and bring reproach to us but God takes care to reward for their actions. The enemies of God’s people will often use fraud as well as force against them.( in turn the have to take the shame on them)

Thank God - we have a source of help in times of  our trouble, we can cry out to Him with the confidence that He is greater that our enemies and the trouble they may bring upon us.

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” 1John 4:4

Only you have to see by yourself-How Great is the Power of God-really awesome God we have as refuge.

Do not worry about the evil enemies around you.   

Do not bother about their dealings. 

Hit on your knees-nothing or none  can touch you.

God has given fiery protection around you.

Have a blessed day

God Bless
