Chapters: Psalms 35-37
Message: Rest In The Lord’s Salvation

Hello
My Friend,

As you may all know by now, America was
attacked by an Islamic terrorist yesterday, while all of these
stories are sad, this is a little closer to my heart because I live
within miles from the place that fifty people lost their lives in an
instant, and that number could climb. When I first heard about this,
I will admit the first thing I thought was why did it have to be a
gay club because the media it going to eat it up as a hate crime, and
they are. No matter how plain it is in their face, they still want to
portray this as an attack on gay people. Let me tell you, the devil
is good at making this into something that will divide the people.
The truth is, this is a war, a spiritual war between good and evil.
With one nation after another being attacked, there is no better time
than to be safe in the arms of Jesus. “Rest
in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of
him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked
devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not
thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but
those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.”
- Psalms 37:7-9.

“For evildoers
shall be cut off:” The people who commit these horrible acts
are pure evil, they are not trying to rid the world of the infidels
(unbelievers of God), they are extremest possessed by the devil, and
they will be cut off. This man did not see God and his fifty virgins
he was led to believe would happen by doing this, he saw a fiery
burning hell and is being tormented right now. Psalm 35 is an urgent
plea from David to place judgment on those who were out to destroy
his soul. “A Psalm of David. Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against
them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and
stand up for mine help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way
against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let
them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. And
my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his
salvation.” - Psalms 35:1-4,9.

“put
to shame that seek after my soul:” There is only one person
who can destroy the soul and that is the devil, and he will use
anyone to get us to go against God. Our only hope is Jesus Christ,
when we rest in His salvation we will not hear what man can do
because we belong to Him. “And fear not
them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but
rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not
fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your
head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value
than many sparrows. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men,
him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But
whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my
Father which is in heaven.” - Matthew 10:28-33.

All
this evil is not limited to people we do not know, we all have people
in our lives that do evil things, he will often use family or friends
as well. The devil hates a person who loves God with all their heart,
mind, and soul, while he cannot take a saved soul, he will do
anything to get them to stop trusting God. When we rest in the Lord’s
salvation, He is our strength to overcome anyone the devil uses
against us. “A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious
against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like
the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do
good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires
of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and
he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness
as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.” - Psalms
37:1-6.

“Delight thyself also in
the LORD;” We are to never waste a minute worrying about the
wicked, but look forward with eyes of faith, trusting that God will
take care of us because we do rest in His salvation. Those who make
God their heart’s delight will have their heart’s desire and will
be fully satisfied in Him. “If ye abide in
me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it
shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear
much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” - John
15:7,8.

The best thing we can do to overcome evil is work
on our relationship with God. We need not worry about them because
God will handle them, if we seek the things of God He will show us
how to overcome all of our troubles.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by
the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not
be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I
have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous
forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and
lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Depart from evil, and do good; and
dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not
his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked
shall be cut off.” - Psalms 37:23-28.

“yet
have I not seen the righteous forsaken,” When we receive the
Lord, Jesus Christ as our Saviour, He promises to never leave nor
forsake us. Yes, we will mess up being saved, but we are preserved,
saved, rested in Christ. “For I am persuaded,
that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor
depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the
love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans
8:38,39.

Jesus Christ Revealed:
Today, Jesus is revealed through the angel of the Lord, and the
fountain of life. Jesus is the fountain of life. “And
he said unto me, It is done. I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that
is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”
- Revelation 21:6.

Today's
Prayer: God, It never ceases to amaze me that the only
reason I am going to heaven is because I believe in Your Son. I do
not have to even serve You to be saved from hell because I know the
price of my sins have already been bought and paid for when Jesus
died, was buried, and arose for me. I serve You today, not because I
have to, but because I want to please You. Lord, be with those who’s
lives have been afflicted and affected by this recent attack, may
this be a time to bring others to Your Son, and not for more hate.
Protect Your children, keep us faithful and resting in Your
salvation. In Jesus' name. Amen.

God Bless You, I am
praying for you,
Christina
