Above the Whispers

When the enemy tries to drown out the voice of God with all his whispers of defeat, worry, and doubt, that’s when God whispers just one word and everything falls into perspective.

So many times we think life is just about our everyday work. We get caught up in the chaos, trying to get everything done and often we fall short. Of course the devil is always there on our shoulder, whispering “You can’t do this. You’re not smart enough. You’re not good enough. You’ll never be enough.”

However, that’s not what God says. He says I am enough. When I think of that phrase I am enough I can’t help but realize why it is so powerful. It’s because the words I AM are part of it. And God is the GREAT I AM!

He knows how to speak quietly into our chaos. He hushes the enemy and tells the storm “Peace, be still.”

Psalm 31: 7-19 says “I will be glad and rejoice because of your constant love. You see my suffering; you know my trouble.

You have not let my enemies capture me; you have given me freedom to go where I wish.

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in trouble; my eyes are tired from so much crying; I am completely worn out.

I am exhausted by sorrow, and weeping has shortened my life. I am weak from all my troubles; even my bones are wasting away.

All my enemies, and especially my neighbors, treat me with contempt. Those who know me are afraid of me; when they see me in the street, they run away.

Everyone has forgotten me, as though I were dead; I am like something thrown away.

I hear many enemies whispering; terror is all around me. They are making plans against me, plotting to kill me. But my trust is in you, O Lord; you are my God.

I am always in your care; save me from my enemies, from those who persecute me. Look on your servant with kindness; save me in your constant love.

I call to you, Lord; don’t let me be disgraced. May the wicked be disgraced; may they go silently down to the world of the dead.

Silence those liars – all the proud and arrogant who speak with contempt about the righteous.

How wonderful are the good things you keep for those who honor you! Everyone knows how good you are, how securely you protect those who trust you.”

So don’t listen to all those whispers that the enemy is telling you. Listen to the still, small whisper of the One True King Who says “YOU ARE ENOUGH” simply because He is enough.

Let God rise up above the whispers and say “Shhh” to your enemies and they will be silenced forever.
