Bible Lesson: Scriptures For
Special Occasions: When Worn And Weary.
Bible Text:
Psalm 55:1-23 NLT
1 Listen to my
prayer, O God. Do not ignore my cry for help!
2 Please listen
and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles.
3 My enemies
shout at me, making loud and wicked threats. They bring trouble on
me, hunting me down in their anger.
4 My heart is
in anguish. The terror of death overpowers me.
5 Fear and
trembling overwhelm me. I Can't stop shaking.
6 Oh, how I
wish I had wings like a dove; then I would fly away and rest!
7 I would fly
far away to the quiet of the wilderness.
8 How quickly I
would escape - far away from this wild storm of hatred.
9 Destroy them,
Lord, and confuse their speech, for I see violence and strife in the
city.
10 Its walls
are patrolled day and night against invaders, but the real danger is
wickedness within the city.
11 Murder ad
robbery are everywhere there; threats and cheating are rampant in the
streets.
12 It is not an
enemy who taunts - me I could bear that. It is not my foes who so
arrogantly insult me - I could have hidden from them.
13 Instead, it
is you - my equal, my companion and close friend.
14 What good
fellowship we enjoyed as we walked together to the house of God.
15 Let death
seize my enemies by surprise; Let the grave swallow them alive, for
evil makes it home within them.
16 But I will
call on God, and The Lord will rescue me.
17 Morning,
noon, and night I plead aloud in my distress, and The Lord hears my
voice.
18 H rescues me
and keeps me safe from the battle waged against me, even though many
still oppose me.
19 God, who is
King forever, will hear me and will humble them. (Interlude) for my
enemies refuse to change their ways; they do not fear God.
20 As for this
friend of mine, he betrayed me; he broke his promises.
21 His words
are as smooth as cream, but in his heart is war. His words are as
soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!
22 Give your
burdens to The Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not
permit the Godly to slip and fall.
23 But you, O
God, will send the wicked down to the pit of destruction. Murderers
and liars will die young, but I am trusting you to save me.
The Apostle Paul, knew what it was to be weary in the good fight of
faith.
He admonished us...
Ephesians
6:10-18 KJV
10 Finally my
brethren, be strong in The Lord, and in the power of His might.
11 Put on the
whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil.
12 For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore
take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand
therefore, having your loins girt about with Truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your
feet shod with the preparation of The Gospel of peace;
16 Above all,
taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all
the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the
helmet of salvation,, and the sword of The Spirit, which is The Word
Of God:
18 Praying
always with all prayer and supplication in The Spirit, and watching
thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
