Escape your Enemies!

Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies. Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence. Psalms 27:11-12 - NKJV

This Psalm was a prayer for direction and protection in the midst of an attack by the Psalmest enemies! His first resonse was to pray! WOW! What a concept!

Most of us would go running around like a chicken it's head cut off! (and that's pretty funney and at the same pretty mecrabre!)

It is in moments of quiet listening prayer that we first learn to hear God's leading. Many of us jog along in life turning which ever way looks fine to us.

How much better would it be, to practice getting God's leading, before we need it.

Hear it in the little matters so you'll be accustomed to it for the crucial matters.

Follow it in the crucial matters so He can bring you to safety. Psa.32:6-9.

As an illustration Rev. H.H. Breton wrote this observation.

"I watched with interest on March 1st 1929 a pair of herons hovering over Reddicleave Brakes. The Moor (Dartmoor) was covered with a sheet of ice. Wheeling around them was a hungry buzzard striving to get above them and strike a mortal blow. As they hovered, in their cries they seemed to say, 'If we go inland we face the farmer's gun; if we stay here we are in danger of being cut down by this moor eagle; if we go out into the moor we risk being frozen to death.' After much hesitation their minds were made up, and they acted promptly and flew off towards the Moor. No doubt their decision was right for in a few days the hot sun thawed the streams and ice on the Moor."

Whatever your condition or situation today, through prayer you may receive by God's Spirit the Lord's divine leading!

May you hear a "word behind you saying, 'This is the way, walk in it.'"

God has every intention of bringing you out of this into His green pastures to rest beside His still waters! Isa.30:21, Psa.23.

Hear the quiet whisper of God's Spirit within as you spend time in prayer listening for His voice.
