Psalms 86:4 "Unto thee O Lord, do I lift up my soul. Vs.11 Teach me thy way O Lord, I will walk in thy truth. Vs. 17 "Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it and be ashamed, because thou oh Lord hast holden me and comforted me".
I dare say there is not one among us that has not been treated unfairly at one time or another. I look to these scriptures and others and find encouragement for those times of oppression, difficulties and unfairness we suffer in this world. God calls us to a higher standard, though our initial reaction is to strike back. When Christ was persecuted he took it silently, he turned the other cheek. That is a great example of how we are to handle our own persecutions, though if you are like me it comes with prayer, because that is not my gut reaction in the natural.
When faced with tough spots I have learned to say Lord help me very quickly, because without his help I am not going to speak as he would have me. I am pleased to say he is always there. My job is to let it go and leave it at his feet and let him handle it, period. Easier said then done in the carnal, but with God all things are possible!
A chorus that goes with this scripture is: "Unto Thee oh Lord, Do I lift up my soul, Oh my God I trust in thee, let me not be ashamed let not my enemies triumph over me". May this be our song and prayer each day as we walk the path that we are called to walk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYc1sLnsHLY&feature=kp
