Word of the Day Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; do not further their evil plot, or they will be exalted! Psalm 140:8 (ESV) As we look around the society that we now live in it seems like it is every person for themselves. There was a time when people looked out for one another; neighbors would make sure that they looked out for each other. Now it seems we are living in a time when no one looks out for anyone. The African proverb of it takes a village to raise a child, seems to have gone by the wayside, and instead of the village raising the children, the children have taken over the village. When people who have the mindset to better themselves even if it means climbing over someone to get there it becomes increasingly imperative for us to make sure we continue to look to the Lord for all things, because we know the enemy will do all they can do to keep us from the blessings the Lord has for our lives. It is essential that we maintain a strong prayer life, and ask the Lord not to allow the plans of the wicked to succeed. The Scripture reminds us to pray, grant not, Lord, the desires of the wicked; do not further their evil plot, or they will be exalted! I encourage you today to seek the Lord in all that you do, and ask Him not to grant the desires of the wicked over your life. There are those who will do all they can to plot against you, stop you, block you, and hinder you from your goals and then be glad when things dont happen for you, but you cannot allow their plans to succeed in your life. It is essential that each day you seek the Lord, and what He has for you and your life, because the plan that the Lord has for you is greater and more powerful than the plan that the enemy has for your life, and as long as you stay connected to the Lord His plan will prevail. Not everyones desire for you is to succeed, unfortunately some peoples desire is that you utterly fail, but their plan cannot and will not work, if they dont line up with God and as long as you continually seek the Lord and exalt Him in all things, and because the Lord is on your side the plans of the enemy will fail. Lord, the wicked desires evil against me, allow all of their plans to fail in Jesus name. Since I will continually seek the Lord in all things, and I know that the plan of my enemies will fail I have no doubt, Its My Year To Get My Thing From My God! Be Inspired, Rev. Dr. Stephen W. Pogue, Pastor Greater Centennial A.M.E. Zion Church Mount Vernon, NY
