Oppressed by the Wicked, but Rejoicing in the Lord -- Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked; From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity. Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows - bitter words, That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear. They encourage themselves in an evil matter; The talk of laying snares secretly; They say. "Who will see them?" They devise iniquities: "We have perfected a shrewed scheme." Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they shall be wounded. So He will make them stumble over their own tongue; All who see them shall flee away. All men shall fear, And shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider His doing. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory.
Our nation is at a turning point; 2008 will change the way we handle things in the future. Certainly prayer is the key to what happens and when, so continue to pray like your life depends on it...it does! At least while you are here on this earth!
