Goodmorning. The following comes from The Bible,God's Word translation. "OH lord,you understand. Remember me,take care of me,and take revenge on those who persecute me.Be patient and don't take me away. You should know i have been insulted because of you. Your words were found,and i devoured them. Your words are my joy and my hearts delight, because i am called by your name,Oh lord God of Armies. I did not keep company with those who laugh and have fun. I sat alone because your hand was on me. You filled me with outrage. Why is my pain unending and my wound incurable,refusing to heal? Will you disappoint me like a stream that drys up in summertime? That was Jeremiah chapter 15: vss 15-18.
Continuing on with verse 19 thru verse 21. This is what the Lord says; "if you will return,I will take you back. If you will speak what is worthwhile and not what is worthless, you will stand in my presence. The people will return to you, but you will not return to them. I will make you like a solid bronze wall in front of these people . They will fight you, but they will not defeat you. I am with you, and i will save you and rescue you, declares the Lord. I will rescue you from the power of wicked people and free you from the power of tyrants." These were the words of Jeremiah the prophet, complaining bitterly. I have complained bitterly before. Yes to my God in prayer. And i have watched in fear as He unfolded those that have spoken of me,in unflattering words. He has brought them before my eyes, and before my ears as i have been vindicated by My awesome God. I am but flesh, yet He is my redeemer. I am so glad the peace of my soul does not depend on the words of those that surround me. I have gone through what seems to be endless pain at the hands of narcissistic people, but with much prayer,and Study of God's word, i have been delivered. I've watched in awe as the Lord has made me like a solid bronze wall in front of these people. A prayer: don't forget me! Care for me! I devour your words and wear your name proudly. Yet i sit alone, because your hand is on me. Why is my wound incurable? Another prayer: When i return to you, i get a warm welcome. You let me stand in your presence. Make me a solid wall. Rescue me from evil people! Amen and Amen.
I will say this....doing battle with the devil, is tiresome. It's draining, but God has His plan for my life. He will not fail. When He frees me of my fatigue, the Son will shine, and the cares of this world will matter no more. So chase your illusive dreams, and your vanity will perish with you. As for me, i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever Amen.
