At the beginning of this summer I faced a problem that was foreign to me. I was accused of something so devastating that if found true my career would be destroyed. It was done by people I don’t know and never met. I still don’t know the motive. I had no idea what was opposing me and therefore I was completely helpless. I had no plan or exit strategy. I couldn’t maneuver around an obstacle that I couldn’t see. I was so joyful it happened this way though. I went to God the first night in prayer and had nothing to say. Normally I am very descriptive in my prayer. I tend to believe that specific prayers reap specific answers. This time I had nothing. I was reminded of Psalm 18:30. God is a shield to those who trust in Him. All I could tell God was that I trust Him to shield me from whatever this was. I didn’t want to share it with very many people. I didn’t want encouragement or prayer. The objective seemed clear. Trust and outlast the ambush. Deut 3:22 says You must not fear them for the Lord your God himself fights for you. It took a toll on my mind and emotions. Like every battle, it existed within the soul. My shield was in the spirit. All believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise. This seal is the invisible seal that exists between soul and spirit. God communes and strengthens us in our spirit. I make the choice if I want that to permeate in my soul, or continue to dwell on what I see. It’s now August and the Lord cleared my name by bringing truth to an abundance of lies. I give Him glory for that. My Father wasn’t done though. In the same month that I am cleared from what could have destroyed my career, I receive a promotion. Jesus is the real deal. My prayer is that God will always protect me from my own ignorance or any sort of deception. I don’t want to ever foolishly leave His shield : )
