They shall sing

Psalms 138:5 - Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.

The Lord says those who walk in His ways, even when there are problems around them, they will be singing. In other scriptures it is stated when the Lord is with you and you have the truth in you, then the joy of the Lord will be in you. This joy will not be dependent on any situation; therefore if situations change the joy will still remain.

About taking action against those who persecute you, leave that to the Lord and they will see it happen to them. On our part we should not keep anger against them. For, we are not fighting against humans but against spirits that use them.

So the next time you are persecuted by anybody start singing praises to the Lord and leave the rest to Him.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord, You are a glorious God. You are the only true God and I worship You. Nothing in this world can harm me when You are with me. Remind me this when I am being persecuted. I make this pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
