YOU WILL TREAD ON\u202fTHE LION AND THE\u202fADDER;<\/strong> 
\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202fTHE YOUNG LION AND\u202fTHE SERPENT YOU WILL\u202fTRAMPLE UNDERFOOT. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSALM 91:13<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darak, the Hebrew word for \u201ctread,\u201d means to set out, march on, walk upon. (1) By applying this verse to our lives, we can gain confidence to follow the Lord\u2019s leading boldly. God doesn\u2019t want us hiding in fear but assertively setting out to gain ground for the Kingdom, knowing He has our back and Jesus won the victory. Whatever mountains we face, we can boldly climb them, knowing we have divine resources helping us over the rough spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without risk, we can\u2019t enjoy the reward. In golf, when facing a water hole, meaning you must hit your ball over the water to reach the green, many players change their ball for a \u201cwater ball.\u201d Because they lack confidence in getting the ball across the pond, they don\u2019t use their regular ball, afraid they will hit in the water. Essentially, they\u2019ve already admitted defeat and put a negative thought in their mind, subconsciously telling themselves, \u201cI\u2019m going to hit it into the water.\u201d I don\u2019t switch balls. Instead, I ignore the water, focus on the target, and swing away, confident in my ability to make the shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord doesn\u2019t want us to use water balls when facing the enemy. He wants us to boldly swing the club, knowing with his assistance, we\u2019ll hit our target. Feeding our fears causes us to lose sight of Who has our back. Staying focused on God and His divine presence in our lives can give us the ability to take risks, knowing the reward waits for us. Trample your enemies underfoot, knowing the Creator gives you victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God gives us the confidence to trample the enemy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord, thank You for giving us divine help to trample our enemies underfoot, giving us victory over their attacks. Please help us walk confidently today, knowing the risk will lead to the reward. In You, we can do all things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
