I’m Telling Daddy

“The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.”  Psalm 10:2

There is one that torments me;

I can’t get him off my mind. 

I can’t escape the thought of him,

this one that is maligned. 

With hot pursuit he charges forth.

I seem too weak to flee. 

I’m crushed inside I need Your help,

LORD please hear my plea. 

Let all the schemes he has designed for me,

that cause me this disdain. 

Be returned to him with double force,

that he might feel my pain!

It is natural to anguish over the pain that others cause.  However it is the flesh that wants to return the pain to that person by our own efforts.  Our efforts double the trouble for us and we are twice worse off. 

Jesus taught us to ‘Turn the other cheek’.  He also showed us by His example to go to the Father when we are in need.  When someone is after you and causing you trouble, turn your cheek, get on your knees and tell your Abba Father (Daddy)!

“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.”  Galatians 4:6
