That smear campaign you’re going through – God hasn’t abandoned you. He promises to fight for you, here’s how:
Not only have I lived through at least 3 wild smear campaigns, I survived WITH God.
He has not abandoned you. He’s got you, I promise – even when it doesn’t feel like it. Stay faithful. Let him work:
– “the mouths of liars will be silenced” Psalm 63:11
– you’ll hide in the shadow of his wings
– he will be for you a shelter
– he will send angel armies to guard your life
– he will rescue you because he delights in you
– he will bring you out into a spacious place
– he will revive you
– he will increase your honour and comfort you Psalm 71:21
– he redeems your life from the pit. Psalm 103:4
– he renews your youth. Psalm 103:5
– he will trample your enemies Psalm 108:13
– he will restore what the enemy has stolen
– he will never leave or forsake you
– if they attack, you will not be overcome
“Adonai knows how the wholehearted suffer, but their inheritance lasts forever.” Psalm 37:18
Get into the Psalms – especially Psalm 37! “Don’t be upset by evildoers or envious of those who do wrong, for soon they will either like grass…”
King David knew exactly what it feels like to be smeared, hunted and lied about..
He was honest with God about what he felt
“Pour out your heart before him..” Psalm 62:8
And to our benefit he wrote and wrote about his heart’s cry to God.
Don’t let what they’re saying about you change the way you feel about God. They’re not that powerful.
He’s got you!
For I am convinced that no smear campaign or religious abuse, no liar, nor darkness, no enemy, no family dysfunction can separate you from the love of God through Jesus.
