Psalm 140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
We turn to the Lord in the presence of evil and wicked men. We are declared righteous and upright because of Jesus Christ. In the midst of enemies and problems, we will give thanks unto the Lord. Believers in Christ dwell in the presence of the Lord and enjoy His protection and blessing, even while dwelling in the presence of sin and evil.
No problem is too great nor any enemy too fierce that that God our Savior cannot overcome. We can take rest, take heart, and give thanks all the time. We can dwell securely in His presence, for He is always there where we are. “He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.”
