Christians Vindicated
“no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me, declares the Lord.” Isaiah 54:17 (NIV)
Evil men may blow all the verbal smoke their foolish minds can conjure up, but Christians will be vindicated. When men bent on their sinful cause accuse, complain, and lie against you they are really doing that against our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This promise should remind you that their own knees will bow and their own mouth will confess that you are correct in your biblical faith.
As followers of Christ we can confidently stand firm on truth and not waver in our convictions in order to pacify the ungodly. This world is not our home and our citizenship is in Heaven, so the temporal appeals of culture lack convincing.
Let’s pray today that though evil men and their false accusations cause us grief, we will hold firm to Christ.
