Plead My Cause!
By: Robert A. Searles
When we are “born again” into
the family of God and become Christians, we begin to face enemies
that we have never had to face before. Our battles are not
necessarily against flesh and blood enemies, but we strive against
spiritual forces in high places.
When we become Christians we
immediately enter a spiritual combat zone, and are confronted by an
unseen army of combatants whose commander in chief is Satan.
We must constantly draw from God
our Father, through our Savior Jesus Christ, the reinforcements we
need to face and defeat our foes. We must constantly be on the
alert and walk circumspectly, always watching lest our enemies take
us unawares, and we become led astray and deceived, and fall into
Satan's traps and be defeated.
Being constant in praise and
prayer, and in fellowship with our Lord, we can be assured of safety
and security from all the affronts of the enemy. Christ will plead
our cause, and help us. He will confound our enemies, and put them
to shame. They will be like chaff before the wind and be blown away.
When we stay close to him we will be joyful and rejoice in our
salvation.
“Plead my cause, O Lord, with
them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.”
Psalm 35: 1, 2.
“Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the
angel of the Lord Chase them.” Psalm 35: 5.
“And my soul shall
be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.” Psalm
35: 9.
