Verse(s) for the Week Mar 18-24, 2008

No Weapon Against Me Shall Prosper

Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."

I have been under attack lately and been misjudged, harassed and abused by others (rather one particular person at my work place). I have prayed and begged and pleaded with God to take care of this situation. I know that He will and felt that He led me to this verse to show me that He IS STILL IN CHARGE and He is taking care of this situation.

This verse gave me great comfort because this person wants to have me fired. You see, the problem is not with my work. The problem is that this person confesses to be an atheist. Now, I am a Christian, but I do not force myself or God on anyone. I do not agree with this person when he tries to belittle others, curses them, or puts them down in any way. To me that is wrong. I let God's light shine through me, and I think that is the problem between me and this person. I know he is a non-believer and therefore I do not discuss God with him. I have prayed and prayed for this person's soul for many years. He is a man most miserable within himself and you can tell that he is so. However, he refuses to admit that God exists, much less that God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to save us.

No matter what, I know that no matter what this man tries to do to me, he can do me no harm. I know it because God tells me so in Isaiah 54:17.

Until next time,
