Streams of Joy Devotionals (Tuesday August 13)

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;thy rod and thy staff they comfort me".(Psalms 23 vs 4). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.

It is remarkably noteworthy that while a Shepherd takes his sheep around, wild animals like lions and foxes may come to harm the sheep. They come to cause harm to the sheep while they are being led by the Shepherd;but the Shepherd doesn't just sit back to watch his sheep decimated by wild animals;the Shepherd responds by using his rod to attack the attackers of his Sheep. When it seems that the Sheep are vulnerable to wild animals, the Shepherd arises with his rod to defend his sheep.

Notice that in our Focal Scripture,David declared: "THY ROD AND THY STAFF,THEY COMFORT ME". Put differently,David declared that his comfort is in the fact that when wild animals around come to make him a prey,God will use his rod to attack them on his behalf! David was simply announcing that : THE EXISTENCE OF HATERS OR ATTACKERS DOES NOT MAKE HIM VULNERABLE!

Friend, hear this: God will not fold his arms and watch your haters or attackers hurt or harm you. He will fight on your behalf. The enemies of your destiny are simply fishing in troubled waters when they come to fight you. The angels of God are on assignment,and they will fight against every Spiritual wickedness against you.

Beloved, don't fret on account of the empty boast of those who don't like you. Isaiah 49 vs 25b captures it thus,"...For I will contend with him that contendeth with thee,and I will save thy children".

The Rod of God is your answer and comfort to the threat of the enemy!

Pray with me,"Lord,I will be still, let your rod fight my battles in Jesus name".

Have a Splendid Tuesday!
