Their Hatred Accelerates Your Blessings

Silence is something most find difficult to practice, and it can be mistaken for weakness when it is the strength to endure under intense pressure. For those God has chosen, He is actively working behind the scenes to renew all things, regardless of the hatred, judgment, criticism, and those fighting against you.
Sometimes, we need to practice shut mouth grace. (Ecclesiastes 3:7; James 1:19). And not every situation needs an explanation. Neither does every action require a response. God sees the beginning before the end, and in due season, He makes every wrong right and brings justice, healing, and restoration.
Dear One, I have learned that in silence, God is Jehovah Saboth, our warrior and defender who fights every battle and crowns us the victor. Never assume someone is foolish because of their silence. They have more wisdom than you know and the courage to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord because this battle belongs to Him. (Proverbs 17:27-28, NLT). No schemes, hate, opinion, or gossip can stop their blessings when the hand of God is on their life.
My dearest, stay humble, continue to place your trust in God, and God, your righteous judge, will right every wrong. Trust Your perfect heavenly Father with His perfect timing.
I pray that the song "Fighting For Me" by Riley Clemons stirs your heart. The Lord will never stop fighting your battles!
