O Lord, you light my lamp. My God turns my darkness into light. With you I can attack a line of soldiers. With my God I can break through barricades. [Psalm 18:28-29 (GW)]

Did you ever play “Red Rover” as a child? We had to break through the clasped hands of the members of the opposing team. Sometimes life is a bit like that. Try as hard as we will, it seems like someone or something is opposing us all the way. Who and what are the soldiers blocking your way? Are there people or things in your life that might be keeping you from achieving your goals? What are the barricades restraining you from accomplishing the tasks you want to complete?

Keep in mind, if what we are doing is God’s task, with His blessing and by His power, we can, indeed, defeat any enemy and break through every barricade in our way!

O Lord, light my lamp and lead the way through the barricades in our lives.
