I Am Your Safe Haven

Psalm 140:12 AMP

I know and rest in confidence upon it that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will secure justice for the poor and needy [of His believing children].

Psalm 140:12 NLT

But I know the Lord will help those they persecute; he will give justice to the poor.

Psalm 140:12 KJV

I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

I have chosen the above three translations to express this commentary.

There’s always a safe haven for the poor and afflicted to run into, but the sign above that door can be misleading if they don’t know the truth of the fact.

So unto whom can the poor turn when they are persecuted? We all would say that the government will take care of them, yet there are governments that go one step further in taking care of the poor, and history bears this witness: they were found in mass graves.

Of course, some will lack the money to get professional help, because they will most likely have spent their money on bling, drugs and alcohol. Yet many aren’t like that and they may be just unable to defend themselves from the wolves.

But there is always someone on their side, and most of the time they aren’t looking to that source, because of the situation in which they find themselves; however, the Lord will always be standing by for them to seek his face and He will ultimately bring about due justice.

This should be a comfort for us all, but even we who are able to defend ourselves and meet all our immediate needs, we will without a doubt need to know where to turn when we are weak and undone.

Therefore, we must remember that NO matter what our situation may be, the Lord is with us.

Therefore this truth should also call us to responsibility, because HE has promised that HE would be with us forever, and as I know, these times will be very trying for us and we can’t see the light despite darkness.

Nevertheless, as God's people – as the hands of the Lord – we are required to defend the rights of the powerless. Remember that the Founding Fathers of our Country’s Constitution made numerous mentions that ALL of our Freedoms and Rights come from the Living Most High God and all we need to do is look unto WHOM our Salvation cometh. Thus we are our brother’s keeper.

History tells this story very well, but the secularist don’t want the Lord’s chosen to know this truth; therefore, it’s left up to each of us to find the truth and make it’s light shine.

Until next time, may the Living God of gods and of ALL the Universe be with you and bless you.
