“Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.”
~ Exodus 23:20-22
Dear God, Your Words are refreshing to my soul, so much that it makes me smile and reassures me of Your awesome presence at all times. When You said “I will be an enemy to your enemies and adversary to your adversaries,” this made me feel truly special. Sometimes, it looks like the enemy ( sickness, bad health, plagues, loss, poverty, lifestyle of sin, hopelessness, defeat, addiction, etc) is winning but the truth is, it is only a matter of time, whatever makes itself an enemy of God’s children will be wiped out without a trace because such things are His enemies. You are the God who jealously watches over those who are called by Your name and I can imagine how You feel when those of us who are called by Your name panic as a result of what makes those who are outside Your covenant and covering panic. I can tell that according to Your Word, when the other side feels like they are winning , You simply laugh at them and say concerning Your doubtful, fearful and panicky children ” If only you know how much I care about you, so much I will give the life of others in exchange for your life…” Teach me to be bold in the face of the storms of life, knowing fully well that the One who has got my back is capable of doing anything and everything to ensure that all is well with me. It is interesting to know that all You require of me, for You to be an enemy to my enemies is total obedience. I ask that You teach my heart to obey You completely, no matter how hard it seems. I will walk in perfect obedience so I can go to sleep, knowing that the Great and Mighty One is watching over me and all those who belong to Him. AMEN.
