Read Psalm 18.
In verse 29 the Psalmist, thinking of some of the times in the past when he has been given power to overcome difficulties and to advance on the path, says, For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. Everyone has found himself at some time confronted with a difficulty that seemed like a high and insurmountable wall, but faith in God enables one to clear the obstacle notwithstanding.
Next the Psalmist reminds us that the way of God is perfect. God will put you upon your high place. In other words, he will raise you consciousness so that you will automatically demonstrate. Then the author praises God and thanks Him for His goodness. Thanksgiving, as you know, is one of he most powerful forms of prayer.
Finally he says that God gives great deliverance to his King; and that He sheweth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed forevermore. God intends us all to be kings through the exercise of spiritual power, and our power to go on increasing – like the seed of David – through all eternity.
There is no obstacle, weakness or challenge that we can not overcome if we turn control of our lives over to God. When we say, “Lord, take control of my life and I will follow your lead”, then the universe changes and all the power that exists weighs in on our behalf. Regardless of how long we have suffered, how hard it has been or how futile our efforts have seemed, all this will change when we truly turn away from our control and give control to God.
Those things, circumstances or people who have have been part of our problem will fade away or become part of the solution. This is true because God loves us unconditionally and wants us to be happy. Even if we don’t love ourselves, or think we don’t deserve God’s love, God disagrees and is always ready to forgive and shed his grace on us regardless of what we have done or not done.
If God believes in us and loves us unconditionally, then we should love ourselves and be empowered to give unconditional love. When we do this, all the beauty, joy and peace in the universe becomes available to us. Then we can forgive ourselves and love ourselves as God does. Then we can walk in the garden each day with all of God’s blessings, protection and intercessions. Then, nothing can hold us down or hurt us for long.
Gratefully,
