Today’s
scripture: Psalm 7:1-7
Okay. I’ll admit I’ve never had an adversary who has “pursued me” or attempted to “tear my soul like a lion …”
Oh, I’ve had people in my life who haven’t liked me, but generally speaking, people are usually pleasant toe me.
But I—and if you’re a Christian, you too—have an enemy. An enemy of my soul. An enemy who would like nothing more than to discourage me, “trample me,” and “lay my glory in the dust.” This enemy, one described as the “prince of the power of the air” (Eph. 2:2), is “prowl[ing] around like a lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Pet. 5:8). He knows he’s lost the war because Jesus has already “overcome the world” (John 16:33), but he’s going to try to win a few battles.
How blessed I am to know that God is my refuge and protector—not just from earthly enemies but also from this enemy of my soul. And that enemy? He doesn’t stand a chance!
