God will vindicate you
Psalm 26:1
Judge (vindicate) me, oh Lord; for I have walked in my integrity: I trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide

To vindicate is to clear of blame or suspicion. It also means to justify.

There are stories in the bible of how God cleared people of suspicion and blame. When Moses was leading the people of Israel into Jericho, he sent twelve men as spies to the city of Jericho.

Ten of them brought a bad report, they said though the land was flowing with milk and honey the city was fortified (has high strong walls we cannot breakthrough easily), there were soldiers constantly on watch on the city wall and the men are giants, we will be like grasshoppers in their sight. We cannot overpower them.

Two of them, Joshua and Caleb, however, gave a good report. The walls are fortified, the men are giants but we are well able to overpower them by the grace of God Almighty.(Numbers 13)

Everything the the ten spies said was true and I believe they influenced the Israelites to be suspicious of what Joshua and Caleb said.

But God vindicated them when the walls of Jericho fell flat without the use if any destructive weapons. Shouts of praise brought the walls down.(Joshua 6)

God can vindicate you also from whatever blame and suspicion you face, he did it for Joshua and Caleb, he did it for Joseph when he was falsely accused, he did it for the Prophet Daniel, for Queen Esther, for Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego, for the Apostle Paul, Apostle Peter etc.

He is well able to vindicate you. Keep trusting Him

Luke 18:7
And shall not God avenge (vindicate) His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them?

The verse above also confirms the fact that God is able to vindicate and will vindicate the elect,(Christians and children of God).

Hold fast to your christian principles no matter what happens. God will make a way.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Determine in your heart and ask God for grace and strength to hold fast to your christian principles.

Prayer
Let this be your prayer

Keep me true Lord Jesus
Keep me true
There is a race that I must run
There are victories to be won
Give me power every hour to be true.
Amen
