I asked God this morning to show me something nice… it’s been a week of challenges, for me and even more so for my friends, and I’m tired.
And so I find myself venturing back to Psalms again. A victory Psalm to be specific, Psalm 124.
Short and sweet, David makes a point. Over the last few months, so many people asked me… where is God? Where is God in this madness.
David says: have you looked at what is stacked against you? The violence of your enemies, the lengths they will go to to achieve their power… their greed… Their rage will sweep you into the sea. We will perish under a torrent of terror…
All that is set against you. Naturally, Spiritually and Physically! And yet, here we are… winning victory after victory, not because we are “just soo good” but because God is on our side. GOD IS WITH US!
1 What if God had not been on our side? Let all Israel admit this!*
2–3 What if God had not been there for us?
Our enemies, in their violent anger,
would have swallowed us up alive!
4–5 The nations, with their flood of rage, would have swept us away, and we would have drowned and perished beneath their torrent of terror!
6 We can praise God over and over that he never left us!
God wouldn’t allow the terror of our enemies to defeat us.
7 We are free from the hunter’s trap;
their snare is broken and we have escaped!
8 For the same God who made everything, our Creator and our mighty maker, he himself is our helper and defender!
