When the Enemy Attack

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: WHEN THE ENEMY ATTACK

...CONTINUE FROM YESTERDAY.

Psalm 5.

This is what to do when the enemy attack,
PRAY PERSONALLY.

David addresses God as “my King and my God” (5:2). The name Lord (5:1, 2) is Yahweh, the personal covenant name of God. Even though David was the king, he knew that he only served under a far greater King, the Lord God. As Matthew Henry put it (Matthew Henry’s Commentary [Fleming H. Revell], 3:255), “Kings on their own thrones (so David was) must be beggars at God’s throne.” David knew God personally as “my King” and “my God.” He was in a close personal relationship with God. He was not a stranger in God’s presence.

Prayer should be a personal, intimate relationship between you and God.
You must come before Him as your King, the Lord of your life. You cannot pray rightly unless you are submissive to do His will. You must know Him as your Lord and Savior, who invites you to come into His presence through the blood of Jesus.

When the enemy attack you, don't be weary, that is the time you need to PRAY PERSISTENTLY.

Twice David says that he will pray “in the morning” (5:3). The idea is that David’s first thought on waking was about the threats of these evil enemies. So he immediately turned those thoughts into prayer. Whatever trials God sends into our lives are to cause us to turn to Him in honest, personal, persistent prayer.

Morning prayer is our duty because then we are the most fresh and most lively!
But whenever you pray, be persistent at it. Spurgeon said (A Treasury of David [Baker] 1:50), “Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.”

LET US PRAY
May the Lord empower you to overcome all your enemy and destroy their attack in Jesus Name
