Faced with an unfair “nuisance”

DEFENSE
Coming
Forth As

O Lord, Thou hast seen my
oppression; judge my case
(Lamentations 53:59, NASB).
One day, I received a letter from an
attorney. I was listed as one of several
defendants who were being sued in what
is called a nuisance claim. I had two
choices: I could pay the demand, or I could
fight it legally. There was a good chance
that if I fought it, my legal fees would

exceed the amount of the demand.
I had a decision to make, and I decided
to pray about it. As I searched the
scriptures, over and over again, I was
reminded of how much God is willing to
fight for and defend His people.
I realized that if I simply paid the
demand, I would not be giving the Lord
the opportunity to fight the battle for
me.
