Psalm 83 (New International Version, ©2011)
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish. 4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5 With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you—
Sometimes it feels like the "enemy" are more organized than we are. They seem to be pulling in the same direction and the Christian "Camp" seem to be pulling against each other. We fight over social issues. We fight over political issues. We get bogged down with how we worship and forget who we worship. We act like we are defeated and their is no hope.
Satan is cunning. He has a way of making the best out of the worst. Yet, we need to know that he is already defeated. God can not be destroyed by the plotting and the cunning. As a matter of fact, God will destroy and not be destroyed. He has already won the battle. His nation will never be forgotten. As long as we trust in him we will be among the victors. We are one with the Savior and one with the Creator of the Universe. Nothing He can do can separate us from the Love of God. They may appear to be one. They may appear to have the upper hand. But, that is the illusion. That is the lie. We can not be defeated when God is for us. As the song says, "VICTORY IN JESUS. My savior forever." SO, we don't panic. We can relax and know that our God is God and he will reign now and forever more! Amen!
