God has forsaken them

June 18 – God has forsaken them – Psalm 71:11-12

     The psalmist relays the lies of the enemy.  The enemy would love us to believe that God has forsaken us.  We are all alone.  That is one of the biggest lies of the enemy.  He loves to isolate people and get them to believe that they are alone.  This is absolute trash.  The Lord told us in Matt 28:20 that He will never leave or forsake us.  The lie is that we can be pursued, seized and no one will rescue us.  God is our fortress, refuge rescuer and help.  He will never forsake us. 

     The cry of the psalmist in this moment was, “Lord do not be very far from me.”  Is that your cry today?  Lord hurry, come quickly and rescue me.  Remember as you go through out this day that the steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord.  Psalm 37:23.  You are not alone.  The mighty God has got your back.  The psalmist knew this and you need to repeat that to yourself today.  Say it loud and clear.  I am not alone.  The angels are camping around me today.  Believe and settle this matter in your heart today.
