3-14-08 Psalm 89:20-23 The Lord Will Strengthen You

Psalm 89:20-23 ((NAS)
I have found David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him, With whom My hand will be established; My arm also will strengthen him. The enemy will not deceive him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. But I shall crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.

Psalm 89:20-23 (NLT)
I have found my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil. I will steady him, and I will make him strong. His enemies will not get the best of him, nor will the wicked overpower him. I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him.

Adonai the Lord went forth and sought you out, just as He did with King David. When He found you, He brought you out of the darkness that you were accustomed to and He delivered you into His Kingdom of Light. Now you have become His bond-servant, who seeks to do His will in all things. God has anointed you with His most sacred and richest oil; you are consecrated to Him. He has pronounced you clean, pure, and holy.
Jehovah has extended His open hand to you. His power, His means, and His direction are always available to you. From His hand you receive bounty and dominion. He helps you stand erect, giving you sure footing. He has fixed your path and has framed your purpose. He has provided all to make your life perfect and stable. The Lord has stretched forth His arm to strengthen and fortify you. You have courage through the Lord's might and power. He hardens you against the enemy's onslaughts and you speedily prevail over him.

Your enemy, the devil hates you because of your love for God. He sets himself up to oppose you at every turn. He wants to delude you and lead you astray. Through seducement and beguilement, he tries to deceive you. His plan is to make you indebted to him, so that he can charge you interest and enslave you. He even uses wicked, unjust men, who have submitted themselves to him, to abase and depress you. Because he wants you in a weakened state, he afflicts you and tries to bring you low. He desires to set himself as your king and governor; however, you need not fear him, for he is only a vapor.

Almighty God will crush and destroy your opponents. He will beat down the Adversary and break him in pieces. You will see your enemies bruised, smitten, and stricken. They will no longer inflict you with diseases or plagues. The devil will not be able to push you into defeat. You will not stumble; you will not even stub your toe. His hate cannot touch you because you enjoy and live under the favor of God. He shall perish, but you shall endure, for you please God. Adonai esteems and honors you.
