Do you ever feel like the pressures, cares, problems and temptations you encounter are like "bees" swarming around you? They are like "bees" in the fact that they are not the things that are big and monumental-- earth shaken -- but lots of little things. They are like bees in the fact that they threaten to "sting" you and cause pain. They are also like bees because they are "flying" all around, keeping you constantly going in circles swatting at them.
These problems and cares are small, numerous and annoying. So what are you doing about them? The Psalmist said that it was in "the name of the Lord" that he would destroy them. You deal with them "in the name of the Lord". This means you: 1) acknowledge the Lord and bring Him into the situation. 2) You look to His strength and ability to help you deal with and destroy them. 3) You use His Word as the sword, and stand on His promises to attack them. 4) You speak His powerful name over the situation and command them to "stop".
It is the "little" things that tend to do us harm or destroy us. They can't be ignored. We must deal with them. But we deal with them in the name of the Lord.
Have a great day. The little things are always out to destroy us. We deal with them the same way we deal with the big issues... in the name of the Lord.
