Psalm 109:14-31
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
It takes a lot to care only about the feedback we get from God. One has to develop some pretty thick skin, and one has to be singularly focused on God Almighty, especially when the cries of our enemies rise high enough to dominate our lives. At that point, it is so easy to start to believe the lies, to believe that what our enemies say is the truth.
This is why it's crucial for us to read and know the whole Bible. The Bible tells us how precious we are to God and how clinging to him will bring us to safety. The Bible tells us that God's love never fails, and we should never give up hoping in God, because he will not leave or forsake us. Placing our identity in our relationship with God is the only place where it is free from the dangers of attack. It's not easy, and it takes great courage, but investing deeply in our relationship with God will give us the kind of peace the world may promise, but cannot deliver.
May we trust in God's love
