Psalm 129:2

January 21, 2016

Psalm 129:2... they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me...

We are attacked as Christians. We must expect that to happen. Satan fights against us and will attack every chance he gets. We cannot be surprised when it happens. But we will never be defeated! God will sustain us. He is there for those who love him and are obedient to his word. You can trust him. This verse shows how Israel, as God's people, were constantly oppressed, but when they served the Lord God gave them victory.

A and K, know that God will be with you. If you look back over your life, you can see God's hand at work. He has protected you spiritually as well as physically and emotionally. Be grateful that you grew up with Christian influences. You both know how others in school have taken the low road and sinned greatly against the Lord. Satan want you to do the same. Take what you have been given and grow closer to the Lord. Learn and live his word and you will be able to withstand any oppression coming your way. "Trust and obey for there is no better way!"
