Let THE BLESSING Defend You
“The Lord is your mighty defender.” –Deuteronomy 32:4 (GNT)
When you’ve been wronged, slighted or downright betrayed, do you spring into action to defend yourself? When you’ve been wronged, it can be tempting to rise up and take action, and sometimes the Lord will tell you to do just that. However, you shouldn’t defend yourself without His backing.
Joseph never defended himself against Potiphar. He didn’t spend time fighting to get out of prison. He waited, and he let THE BLESSING take care of it. It didn’t happen overnight, but God avenged him in every way possible. There is no defender greater than our God.
You don’t have to fight your own fight. You don’t have to defend yourself and look out for your own rights. If you humble yourself and step out of the way, THE BLESSING will go ahead of you and prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies.
This is an important lesson to learn because when you walk in THE BLESSING, you will be persecuted. You will have a hundredfold return, with houses and lands that come from THE BLESSING, along with persecutions (Mark 10:30). THE BLESSING on you will make people envious of you, and they will persecute you. But don’t pay any attention to it.
