Hope When The Enemy Seems to be Prospering
Although this scripture does not specifically mention hope, it is my favorite when I am discouraged by the world around me.
According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay,
Fury to His adversaries,
Recompense to His enemies;
The coastlands He will fully repay.
So shall they fear
The name of the LORD from the west,
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
When the enemy comes in like a flood,
The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.
“ The Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,” says the LORD. Isaiah 59:18-20 (NKJV)
Dear Father, Thank you for taking care of us. Thank you that no enemy of yours goes unpunished. Lord, overturn unholy laws and decrees in our land. Send your righteous judgements to remove every obstacle to your love. Let our nation be once again overcome with the reverential awe of the Lord. Turn back the tide of lawlessness. God, the enemy has come in like a flood. Lift up a standard of holiness against Him. All of our HOPE is in You, our Redeemer. We turn back from our sin and turn to You. Save us and we will be saved. Heal us and we will be healed, Our Lord, Our Rock and Our Redeemer. In Jesus Name, Amen.
