DAILY INTERCESSION 2 Sam., 22, 18: “He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me.” We thank Thee, O Lord, for the assurance that Thou wilt avenge Thine own elect, though Thou dost bear long with them. We rejoice that religious persecutions are so largely abandoned, and religious freedom is regarded as the birthright of man. May political tyrannies likewise be overthrown, so that those who are emancipated may praise Thee as Israel did at the Red Sea when Thou didst deliver them. For Christ's sake. Amen.
