Have you been falsely accused? So was Jesus. They called Him a glutton, a drunkard, and a friend of low-life sinners. They accused the apostle Paul of being a madman, a fool, and a babbler. Jesus called Satan the \u2018father of lies.\u2019<\/i> (John 8:44 NIV) When you\u2019re committed to doing God\u2019s will, Satan will attack you\u2014and use people to do it. Don\u2019t get discouraged and don\u2019t despair. God will vindicate you. His Word says, \u2018No weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from Me.\u2019<\/i> <\/p>\n
If you insist on retaliating, God will back off and leave you to it. But when you put the situation into His hands, the test can result in a testimony to His goodness and grace in your life. So instead of wasting time complaining, pray: \u2018Let Your favour shine on Your servant. In Your unfailing love, rescue me. Don\u2019t let me be disgraced\u2026 Lord\u2026 I call out to You for help. Let the wicked be disgraced\u2026 Silence their lying lips\u2014those proud and arrogant lips that accuse the godly. How great is the goodness You have stored up for those who fear You. You lavish it on those who come to You for protection, blessing them before the watching world. You hide them in the shelter of Your presence, safe from those who conspire against them. You shelter them in Your presence, far from accusing tongues.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 31:16\u201320 NLT) <\/p>\n
Simply pray, \u2018Father, I put this situation into Your hands today. Vindicate me.\u2019 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
