"More Than Relief"

"He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in Thy truth." (Psalms 54:5) If you really take the time to stop and think about it, God is more than willing to give us relief, He is our relief; and because He is our relief, the willingness is dependent upon us, as in, how much relief do I really want? This is a very interesting verse, because it might appear to be two separate statements, where one speaks of reward and the other speaks of cutting off; but if you compare this verse to 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, there is something to be said for standing in the Truth. In other words, we have been shown the Truth, therefore we know the Truth; and if we know the Truth, then we have access to the Truth; and if we have access to the Truth, then we own the Truth; more importantly, the Truth owns us! Remember who is fighting our battles; it's not by our might or by our own strength that the battles are won, but by the Spirit of God; and because His Spirit is the one that is fighting the battle, there really isn't a battle, because nothing can challenge God and win; besides that, He has already won! Therefore, if we consider what that means to getting relief, then it's really not a question of if God will provide relief or not, but it is a question of whether or not we will embrace it. God has provided everything that we need; not only has He given us relief already, but He has already established a home for us beyond this temporary place, one that is far greater and one that will last forever and ever. That is what we need to embrace; with all of our hearts, we need to embrace that which shall be, and let go of that which binds us, the things of this world. There is really no limit to the relief we have in God, because God has not put any limit upon His relief; we are the ones that put limits upon how much we surrender to God; the more we surrender to God, the more relief we will experience... "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war against the flesh: (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." (2 Corinthians 10:3-6)
