As
For My Companion,
He
Betrayed His Friends;
He
Broke His Promises.
Scripture
Psalm
55
19 God, who has ruled forever,
will hear me and humble them. Interlude
For my enemies refuse to change their ways;
they do not fear God.
21 His words
are as smooth as butter,
but in his heart is war.
His words are as soothing as lotion,
but underneath are daggers!
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.
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.
down to the pit of destruction.
Murderers and liars will die young,
but I am trusting you to save me.
Observation
Betrayal
is a cruel, terrible, devastating thing!
Here
in Psalm 55 King David talks about being betrayed by his best friend.
Maybe
you have been betrayed by your best friend. Maybe the best friend who
has betrayed you is your spouse.
Maybe
it is the very same person who promised before God to love, cherish
and protect you has now turned against you and is now breaking his or
her promises that they made to you and the promises that they made to
God … especially breaking the promise to love you unconditionally.
If
you have recently been betrayed and deeply hurt by someone you love
let me suggest that you do what King David did in Psalm 55.
And
remember this: Someone who breaks his or her promises and
betrays their best friend(s) will find themselves in a very dangerous
place!
The
Bible says that God will deal harshly with them! God will get
revenge.
So
pray and ask God to change his or her heart!
Psalm
55:22-23
“Give
your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He
will not permit the godly to slip and fall. 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.”
Romans
12:19
Dear
friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of
God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them
back,” says the Lord.
1
Thessalonians 4:6
Never
harm or cheat a fellow believer in this matter by violating his wife,
for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned
you before.
Application
I
will continue to pray for God to heal broken relationships. I will
not give up. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I have asked You to break my heart with what breaks Yours.
Well my heart is broken. I don't understand people like You
understand them.. Why is it so hard for people to love each other
unconditionally? My heart breaks for people that can't see what they
are doing to themselves, to the ones that are closest to them, to
those who they were leading spiritually, or to the ministry that you
had called them to, when they break their wedding vows. Open up their
eyes so that they can see what the future will be like if they
continue down this road and what it will be like if they don't turn
back to you and turn back to the one that they made so many promises
to.
