When your world turns ugly look to Jesus!

This is one of the most powerful promises of God and will work for anyone. 

The story is in Psalm 55 and the setting is David hiding in the wilderness from his enemies. The subject is dealing with the oppression caused by the wicked. 

David is overwhelmed with trembling and fear over his enemies.

David cries out to God for a way of escape but realizes God created the mayhem and the attacks of the enemy.

David replied to God it was you a man my equal, my companion and my acquaintance who created this adversity.

God has placed the oppression and darkness upon David’s physical and spiritual being. He can identify with the evil feelings and actions of his enemies.

God tells David to cast his burden upon His shoulders and He shall sustain him. God reassures David He will never permit his righteousness to be shaken.

God took down the wall of protection around David. He did this to strengthen David’s faith and show him the greatness of God.

This experience with David is something every believer has to deal with at some time in life. God allows Satan to attack a believer for His purposes.

God will place afflictions on a believer. He will feel the oppression and the darkness. This is the work of intercession which causes a believer to identify with darkness. It can be horrifying and physically exhausting fighting off the darkness.

The next time you encounter a difficult burden turn to our powerful God. Cast your burden upon His shoulders and do not take it back. It now belongs to God and He will bring the victory.

God may not take the burden away immediately but He promises to sustain you with strength, patience and endurance. God promises nothing will shatter your relationship with Him or cause you to be deprived of His righteousness.

Jesus delivers His people!
