This evening I sat looking at everything I still have left to do and was discouraged by my progress. I was discouraged even more by the actions of another. It is never okay to curse and rage, I don’t care what the situation is. I was gazing out my living room window when I realized I had not posted a verse today. Psalm 43 was on my heart and I wasn’t sure why, until I read verse 5.
Why art thou cast down oh daughter? Why are you disquieted? Who stole your voice? I sat looking out my front window, watching the trees bend in the wind. It was a beautiful view. Why art thou cast down daughter? I have brought you this far, won’t I do all I have promised? Praise Me. I read today’s verse again.
Praise shifts the atmosphere. The enemy can’t stand praise. The ungodly can’t stand praise. Don’t be moved daughter. I’m working in realms you can’t see. Trust in Me. Lift up your eyes and give praise unto Me. Shake off the trouble that brings your spirit down. Rejoice in me regardless of what the enemy tries to blind you with. Eyes on Me. Don’t be moved, says I Am that I Am.
The devil tries to blind us. It can be someone cursing and slamming doors or a day at work where nothing seems to go right. It may be hurtful words thrown your way or financial woes trying to weigh you down. They are all tactics to move your eyes away from God and cause hurt, worry, distress, even anger. Praise God louder. Praise Him through the tears, praise Him even when you have fears. Praise Him through the anger and pain, praise Him through the darkest storms and rain.
Oh child of God, lift up your eyes and trust God regardless of what the devil throws at you. He is a liar, in fact the father of lies. Do not allow His tactics to sway you, do not be blinded by his lies. You are sons and daughters of the King most high. What are you cast down? The King of Kings sees you and He is turning the tides around. Keep your eyes fixed on Him and His praises continual coming from your mouth. Things are turning around. The devil is trying to keep you bound. Silly devil, the chains have been broken. God has spoken. He is in control of this vessel, with you we will not wrestle. Go on about your way, for it is God that has the final say. You might as well let His children be, because He’s already set us free. 🦅 ~ Prophetess Michelle, #f8ithgal
“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” ~ Psalm 43:5
