Why You Are A Target!

I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me. Psalms 41:11

Satan does not want you to know that the favor of God is upon you, that you have been blessed by Him and given all the good things you enjoy. Actually he does not want you to think that God's done anything for you! His lie is that you have no purpose, no power and no potential. To convince you he will play the race card. If that does not work he will play the childhood memories card. Finally he will resort to reminding you of all the broken promises and shattered dreams. If you buy into it you will have such low self-esteem that you will not believe God has blessed you in any way, or that you have any real possibility for success in life.

Understand this: no matter how limited your ability or uninspiring your accomplishments are to date, you do not have a thing God did not give you. Your blessings have been made possible only because the Lord is on your side. Listen: 'By this I know that You favor me, because my enemy does not triumph over me. And as for me, You uphold me in my integrity, and set me before thy face forever' (Ps 41:11-12). The Psalmist understood that his enemies were attacking him because they could see the favor of God on his life. Do you understand that too? If you do not, you will not expect the attack, understand the reason for the attack, or know how to respond to the attack. You are blessed, that is why you are a target! They are jealous because of what God has done for you. How come they see it, but you do not?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I know my protection is with you – help me to recognize how the enemy works against what you have meant to be good. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
