Sometimes we just have to tell on them!!!

     Do you remember when you were a child, minding your own business, doing what you are supposed to do when all of a sudden out of no where some one would hit you, bother you, bully you and sometimes make your life miserable? Sometimes make you cry? It can get so intense that you want to quit or just hide?   Do you remember how you used to run and tell your parents about what they did to you knowing that justice would come? Even if the bullies called you a tattle tale, it didn't matter because you knew once you told your mom or dad what was up, that mean behavior against you would come to an end...
    Now, fast forward 10, 20, 30 years?....(eh hem! clearing my throat...) Did you stop telling on folk?  If you are a child of God, I hope not! You might not can tell your earthly parents but you can tell Him! I had to tattle on somebody today! Enough is enough... I went right into the throne room and told God just what was up!  Then, For some reason, I began to wonder if I should've done that/? LOL. Immediately Nehemiah popped in my spirit. (Nehemiah 4:1-9, 15) Boy....when they got to messing with him and the work that he and the people were doing for the Lord, he SANG like a canary to the Lord His God. Well, guess what? I sang like one today and then worshiped His Holy Name and heard "This Battle is not yours but the Lords!!" ( 2 Chronicles 20:1-29) Whoa! I did a praise dance then!  See, when we run to Him and tell Him, HE got it!  Ain't no need to fight back, get all stressed and bothered (even though sometimes... we do. I admit, I did.)  and get distracted by all the dirt they kicking up! Just get it together, run tell God, listen to His instructions and begin to worship because just like our parents would handle that bully that was picking on us. God is going to handle that situation. (Just a disclaimer: Most likely He won't just let us run away like we want to but He assures us that HE is going to be right there with us to face whatever we have to face. Remember how your parents would come out to the school, playground or even backyard on your behalf to set things straight? When the kids saw the parents had your back, the bullies ran so fast you thought they grown another set of legs! Made you feel more confident didn't it? You had backup! You still had to go back to school the next day but they remembered who had your back and stood DOWN! )
      Just trust and believe that God is going to handle those bullies that are trying to stop your progress in Him....So, next time you are getting picked on....GO TELL IT!!! He'll work it out!
