God Will Avenge Our Cause

Down through the centuries of time, Old Testament saints and New Testament believers have found comfort and encouragement in the psalms of David. The yearnings of his heart, that pepper the pages of his psalms, often reflect the same pain and pressure that causes men and women today to cry out to the Lord in their silent distress. Such comforting words provide solace for the soul and inject the will to press on, knowing that God is gracious and faithful and He will avenge His people and protect us under the shadow of His wing.
 Jesus told us that in this world we will have tribulation. People will trample on us, persecute us and oppress us day after day. At times we will feel alone, afraid, and in great anguish, but like David, we always have access to the throne of grace, for mercy to find help in times of need. His ear is never closed to His children and His eye is ever towards those that reverence Him.
 God often permits the people who trample over us, fight against us all day long, and cause us to go through such misery, to test our faith and produce patient endurance. They may be people who openly oppose us, or they may be unsaved men and women in need of salvation, for whom we ought to pray. But whatever the reason we are being encompassed about, trampled over and oppressed, we have an assurance that God Will Avenge Our Cause and those that hate us will know that He has loved us with an everlasting love.
 O God, have mercy on me, for people are hounding me. My foes attack me all day long.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what a joy it is to read through the book of Psalms and discover the jewels of encouragement and the gems of hope. Lord, You know those who are against us, especially those who are dead in sin, at enmity with You and in need of salvation. Father, we thank You that You are our God, and we trust You to bring us through the trials and temptations we are facing today, and pray that You would use us as testimonies of Your great goodness and grace. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
