Topic: Be At Ease [Saturday June 20, 2015]

Text: Psalm 54:1-7

Key Verse: “Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul” (Psalm 54:4).

In her song titled, ‘Victory All the Time’, Leila Naylor Morris, scripted, “They who know the Saviour shall in Him be strong, Mighty in the conflict of the right ’gainst wrong; this the blessed promise given in God’s word, doing wondrous exploits, they who know the Lord.” She encouraged believers to put their trust in the Almighty in all circumstances, for, according to her, victory is sure.

In a world of turmoil, where many people are daily buffeted by all manner of adversities, calamities and deprivations, only those who put their absolute trust in God receive His awesome help for sustenance. While he lived, the Psalmist at various times, tasted the brutality of the wicked. At some points in his life, adversities were his daily companion, but he knew the way to sure solution. He called on the Almighty for assistance. He knew God is the only true source of help, and he was also aware that it was He alone who could judge his enemies and put them to shame.

Our text contains fundamental lessons for every believer in Christ. In times of adversity, God is faithful. During afflictions from the enemy, God is the righteous Judge. When trials and temptations buffet, God is our Refuge and Strength. At all times, we must not be discouraged. We must hold on to our faith till the end.

Believers must realize the source of their problems and learn not to charge God wrongly. Every problem must be taken to God in prayer and the burden must be laid at the feet of Jesus. We need not cringe or fret because He that is with us is more than they that be with our adversaries. Victory is ours.
