How long: will God seem distant, will I be in sorrow, will the enemy be exalted over me? The enemies of the soul, sin, death and devil are prevailing; I am feeling the results of enemy attacks: sorrow, pain, worry, anxiety, grief, guilt, depression, disease, and general unease of Spirit. These symptoms are not sins but evidence of an underlying problem: sin death and devil are assailing and prevailing.
When is the cavalry coming to the rescue? Sooner rather than later, when I turn to Calvary. I ask Jesus to lighten my eyes, I trust in his mercy, I thank God for his salvation, I sing to the Lord because He has dealt bountifully with me. Jesus intervenes; the kingdom has come; the enemy is routed and the symptoms disappear. I repent and believe the Gospel again today.
