Proverbs 16:7 (NKJV) When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
WOW! Do you believe that promise? When a person's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Meditate on that for a moment.
When a person's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. The LORD is going to do this for us; however, this happens when our ways please the Lord. It is a cause and effect promise. If you feel the enemy is at war with you then approach God and ask, "I desire for my enemies to be at peace with me. They may not like me or my decision or what I do, but they don't have to be slanderous, backbiting, or working against me. Am I pleasing You? Are my ways pleasing to You?" Then listen to the Lord. Stop and listen to Him. You and I shouldn't ask a question if we are not willing to settle ourselves and listen to His answer. IF you really want your enemies to be made to be at peace with You, then you are going to have to hear the Word of the Lord. You are going to have to listen.
God doesn't want you and I to be at war. He doesn't want our enemies working against what He has called us to do. He doesn't want our enemies speaking slanderous words. He doesn't want our enemy's constantly backbiting agents hounding everything we do. Therefore, we have to ask God, am I doing what You want me to do? We also have to ask, "Am I doing it the way You want it done?"
Psalms 37:4-5 (NKJV)
Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
Do you know why God will give us the desires of our heart? Because we have delighted ourselves in Him. We know He is loving and kind. We know He will work things out for our good. We know He has our best interest in mind. We know He empowers us to overcome. We know He lifts us up when we fall. We know He places our feet on solid ground. We know He is good, all the time, out loud, in every minute of every day. God is faithful. We can commit our ways to the Lord and He will bring it, the desires of your heart, to pass. When we commit our ways to the Lord He is pleased and makes our enemies to be at peace with us.
I have to be honest with myself and allow the Lord to speak into my life. "Are my ways pleasing to You?"
Father, I come before You now and ask, "Are my ways pleasing to You?" (Pause; stop your mind. Don't defend yourself; take breath and release it, then listen.) I desire to make the changes of anything in my life that I am dong that does not bring You glory. I desire for my every word to bring You glory and honor. I will encourage people in Your ways. I will open my eyes to see people. I will say, "Yes" when you speak to me. I will be faithful to do what you have put in my hands to do. I will be diligent to complete what You have asked me to do. I will be honoring to all people. I will not hide from sharing the Gospel. I will let my light shine and tell people of Your greatness and love. I will bring You honor in Jesus' name amen.
