While we in prayer, this past week, I kept hearing this song the Winans recorded last year, “If God Be For Us!” Stubbornly I refused to hear it as a word from the Lord for me and for all of you and yet, I kept hearing it ringing in my ears. If the teacher gets discouraged, and I do; if the teacher is tempted at times to give in and give up, and I am; clearly the flock is feeling the same pressure. I am determined to hold on. I am determined to resist the wiles of the enemy regardless of the intensity of his attacks. Jesus told me to resist the devil and he would flee. I want to give you some help as you navigate he waters of challenge. Just I refuse to give and give up, I refuse to allow you to give in or give up. This word is neither new nor complicated. But we can benefit from simplicity and repetition. Our text teaches us three timeless truths.
