"No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the
Lord, and this is their vindication from me," declares the
Lord.
Because of the
Lord God's grace and power, we will be victors. This is the overall message of Revelation - when we are faithful, even unto death, we will be victorious and reign with God (
Revelation 2:10-11,
3:21,
22:12-14). This song of victory is sung throughout the Scriptures, rooted in the promise that when Jesus comes, we will reign with him (
2 Timothy 2:12;
Revelation 20:6). This is the assurance that we have from God himself: because our lives are joined with Jesus and his resurrection, they will not be lived in vain and we will share in his ultimate victory over sin, death, and hell (
Colossians 2:12-15,
3:1-4;
Romans 8:37-39;
1 Corinthians 15:58). Those who berate, belittle, and batter God's people will be exposed and his beloved children, his saints of light, will receive vindication and salvation from the Father they love.
We pray especially today for your servants who are sharing the Good News of Jesus in difficult places. Some of these precious ones are imprisoned. Some are facing torture and martyrdom. Others are facing ostracism. Some face firing in their workplace. Please give them strength today. Please deliver them from the evil one's vile intent. Protect them by your mighty hand and deliver them, like Daniel, from the lion's mouth and every human oppressor, to your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
