Awakened by a
repetitive dream that I was again watching the foundation of my home crumble, I
began replaying broken promises, and costly failures, my mind stalking me with painful
memories from the past.
When our
minds become an enemy turning against us, we need a strong tower, a refuge – a safe
harbor. I remembered a scripture verse I had leaned on many times before; “The
Lord will fight for you: You must be quiet.” Exodus 14:14.
Laying my
head back on the pillow I turned my heart and thoughts to my Father who does
not slumber or sleep. Psalm 121:4. Soon I went back to sleep, awake in the
morning with no regard for my dream.
The very
thought that God was fighting for me was empowering. I rested as I remembered that
I am not on my own, I have an advocate who will run interference for me when my
mind accuses me of sin that Jesus has redeemed. I must be quiet, give up the
fight, relinquishing it completely to my Advocate who intercedes for me.
"I will not be
afraid. You oh Lord are my helper and my refuge. In You only will I trust." Psalm 118:6-9
“Quieten me Lord with
your love.”
Zephaniah 3:17
