(The Information & Edification Series – Batch 9)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn’t it amazing, how some people, for days, weeks, months and even years, have placed themselves in front row seats, waiting as spectators for your expected and long-awaited demise but to date, they’ve had no such satisfaction. They’ve been perplexed, confused, not understanding why you are still afloat and looking so good while at it! After all, life was supposed to run you down and do you in a long time ago. How dare you look so radiant, so joyful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of a truth, after all that life has thrown at me and continues to throw at me, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I am thoroughly exhausted and at times feel weary. Yet, God is my helper and my strength. He has proven time and time again, that he is able to succour and so I rely on him to get by from day to day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 29:10-11 states of the Lord: “The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever. <\/sup>The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

True to his Word and solely by HIS grace, although people have kept looking and waiting for news of my fall for many a year, God has kept me above many storms, as HE sits as King upon the flood. Despite the will of man, HE has willed me to be buoyant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a doubt, I deserve to sink but God in his faithfulness, has been keeping me, to the chagrin of my onlookers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samson himself had a bunch of spectators, who gathered for the sole reason of entertaining themselves at his expense and his pain, sure that they could finally say, aha, we’ve got him! He has fallen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, while he lost his life in the end, the most important thing was restored before he passed, which was his spiritual relationship with God. Furthermore, all those who had flocked to see what would become of him and to laugh at him, got a rude awakening on that day, as by God’s grace and empowerment, they were all destroyed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reminds me of Psalm 37:32-34 which states, “The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him. The Lord will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you hear that? The Lord WILL NOT leave him in his hand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is bad news for the haters. They want to see your destruction so bad and are eager, due to boredom and deep-seated ill-will, to have something to talk and to laugh about in relation to you. YET, if you are God’s child, his Word declares that he will NOT leave you in their hands. Simply put, they will not have their wicked way because the God who rules the heaven and the earth, will NOT permit it. He will uphold you with his right hand, which is mighty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Isaiah 41:10, his beautiful Word reminds us that we should not be fearful when we see people gathering around us, not for our welfare but to speak ill of us and in the hope of hearing news of our demise. His Word says, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If God helps us and is for us, who can be against us? If God upholds us with his right hand, who is so powerful as to bring us down? No amount of ill-will dislike or even hatred will perform this feat because it is impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Isaiah 54:14-15, God conveyed of his children:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
