Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my en- emies; make your way straight before me. Psalms 5:8
Here we find instructions for spiritual warfare. “In your righteous- ness” could be taken two ways. It could be a request for the righteous God to lead us in the way that is right. Or it could be a request for godliness which can be the best defence against spiritual enemies.
Lead me in the right path, O LORD, or my enemies will con- quer me. Psalms 5:8 NLT
As you think of the Lord’s leading of your life, are you aware of spiritual enemies that are seeking to harm you by diverting you from God’s will? Why is prayer such an essential part of our spiritual weaponry in battle?
“Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come. Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home” (Amazing Grace, John Newton)
