ROLE PLAY< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Psalm 64
Acquaintances are watching for your stumbling? What you have been hearing is mockery and fear has sneaked in on every side and it has been rocking your boat. As a child of the Most High God, you are not alone. Once, it happened to Jeremiah and he was able to stand because he remembered and he spoke ÒBut the LORD is with me as a mighty awesome One. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not prevail. They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper. Their everlasting confusion will never be forgotten.Ó (Jeremiah 20:11) What can you remember in the word of God that can be used in this situation that has risen against you? Jeremiah remembered the word that can elevate him and keep him going. The words of God that you have received but not without meditation will not serve as medication in time of need. Moses did not suggest to Joshua the need for meditation but he strongly emphasized it with a command when he stated to Joshua that, ÒThis book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way a prosperous, and then you will have a good success.Ó (Joshua 1:8) What else can you do but to take to the word of God and you will not only see but also walk over all areas of trap that is meant for you to stumble. You will discover in the period of time that all mockery has been converted into miracle. He is God that will not let His word go without the word performing what it has been sent forth to perform. Are you walking in the word of God? Walk in the word of God and the world will work for you. The Psalmist called in Psalm 64:1-2, ÒHear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from the fear of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity.Ó If you will get into the word of God with a heart of expectation, the word will not fail it will bring forth a manifestation unto you. Remember, you have a role to play. Before Jesus called Lazarus back to life from the dead, he called for the people to play their role when He asked them to roll the stone away. Jesus could have spoke to the stone to move but He did not. Play your role by meditating on the word of God that is power to deliver and to preserve. The Lord will have mercy.
