Our Victor! (Psalm 3:7-8)

Today’s scripture: Psalm 3:7-8

I’ve written before how often it seems that the enemy is winning way too many battles. I scan the headlines, and it’s all about sex scandals, senseless killings, and mistreated children.

This world seems to be more and more corrupt, moment by moment, and there doesn’t seem to be any hope in sight. It’s enough to make me want to crawl into a hole and hibernate until Christ returns.

But then I read verses like today’s, and I’m reminded that God, the Creator of all things, is the Victor. Just as He conquered the enemies of His people centuries ago, He will conquer the enemy of this world one day.

Salvation, indeed, belongs to the Lord, and one day, all the sin and suffering of this world will be vanquished by God’s power.

Our Lord God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—has “overcome the world”! (John 16:33).
