I haven’t done this in a while.
Today I am.
A KWT paraphrase. I hope it lights up your Spirit Man.
It has mine.
In a city under siege, it says.
America is under siege—it may not be visible to the natural eye, but a siege is upon us. Western North Carolina is under siege. Florida has siege barreling toward it—yes, we can say we are under siege. All of us are under siege of some nature and kind.
But hear this today.
Psalm 31, beginning with verse 21— He has shown me His loving devotion.
Okay. Here goes. KWT Paraphrase.
How has HE shown me His loving devotion?
When I was under siege and I was alarmed and thinking the wrong way, by His Grace, even while under siege I called out to HIM. And He heard me. And He helped me.
And now I can say to you all.
Love the LORD, all His saints.
He preserves the faithful. But oh the arrogant, He will fully repay you. (While I can, I must plead with you, Please repent while you can.)
To those whose hope is in The LORD, He says, Be strong and courageous.
While under siege we must think right.
We must not succumb to the voice that says: “I am cut off from Your sight!”
No! We will say: “The LORD preserves the faithful”.
And in CHRIST JESUS we have been made faithful and we have been given Father’s loving devotion to enable us to remain faithful even under siege. Be strong and courageous.
Never stop praying for one another.
We all need prayer and we all need the practice.
