Scripture
2 Samuel 16:12 “And perhaps the Lord will see that I am being wronged and will bless me because of these curses.”
Observation
1) The Lord sees. He knows the injustices that I face.
2) The Lord hears. He hears the things that are said about me.
3) The Lord defends. He will bless me when others curse me. He will guard my reputation. He is my avenger.
Application
1) Don’t defend myself
2) Don’t take vengeance in my own hands
3) Trust God to take care of me.
Prayer
I place my trust in you. You are my God and you will protect and defend me. I do not have to worry about my reputation. I believe in you. I trust in you. I rest in you.
