RETREAT
Today's reading: Psalm 6-10

"My enemies turn away in retreat; they are overthrown and destroyed before you. For you have judged in my favor; from your throne, you have judged with fairness." Psalm 9:3-4 NLT

Retreat-to withdraw; to move back or get away from danger, attack, etc; to move or go away from a place or situation especially because it is dangerous, unpleasant, etc.

I believe it's time I began to pray and believe what this verse tells me: my enemies have tucked tail and run.

My Deliverer has stood up against them.

My Redeemer has bought me back, I no longer belong to my accusers, belittle-ers, the ones who lie about me.

My Rock stands as a impenetrable fortress and shield before me.

My King has overtaken the land of my heart and will not longer allow squatters.

My Shepherd stands over me with His rod and staff poised at the prowling lions.

My Friend has my back.

My Father protects His child with all He has, all He is and all He needs.

No more weak, worthless prayers of desperation...No more whimpering cries of hopelessness...No more forlorn wailing of a helpless, defeated soldier!

My God is for me!

My God has won!

My God wants me to walk in the victory He gave me through the life, death, burial and resurrection of His Son!
