DCLM Daily Manna 11 March 2020 MESSAGE:
When the Lord steps into any situation, nothing remains the same again. If things were rosy for the child of God before His appearance, they would become rosier. If you are passing through tough times and the Lord comes into the picture, the negative circumstances give way. The edifice of evil put up by the devil to make you grieve is pulled down and joy takes over. As a child of God, if you are fleeing from the powers of darkness who want you to fall and die in sin, the sudden intervention of the Lord can turn the tables.
That was David’s experience in the reading for meditation. After painting a dreary picture of how the enemy almost subdued him with superior physical power, he spoke of the Lord revealing Himself on his behalf when he cried to Him.
DCLM Daily Manna 11 March 2020 – Inviting the Lord into one’s circumstances changes the narrative. David who was the prey became the hunter, according to his testimony. “I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed” (verse 37). The Lord effected a complete reversal of roles, with the hunted transforming into the hunter. The Lord did that because “he sheweth mercy to his anointed… and to his seed for evermore.”
Every sincere believer who has been forgiven his or her sins and has received Jesus as Lord and Saviour is the Lord’s anointed who can also enjoy the mercy David got to make him conquer the roaming enemy that was out to destroy him. What unquantifiable privileges and blessings sinners and backsliders are missing as a result of their alienation from Jesus Christ! The Lord is no respecter of persons. If the lost should come to Him now in penitence and complete submission, they will be forgiven and given power to defeat their enemies.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
You are anointed for triumph over Satan if you have Jesus.
