Today’s reading is Psalm 61-65.
Our enemy is cunning, baffling, and ruthless. As Psalm 64 explains, he lies in ambush, secretly plotting to take down the God Filled, shooting his arrows, his fiery darts as Paul calls them, suddenly and without fear. If we are not careful, we may think his cunning power is too much for us. Well, of course, it is. But it is not too much for our God. Our God shoots His arrow and the enemy is wounded suddenly. The enemy is brought to ruin and destruction. Certainly, victory over our enemy’s fiery darts is about progress not immediate perfection, but we can know that God is working victory for us. Our enemy will be destroyed because our God has already fired His victorious arrow when Jesus was resurrected from the dead. Praise the Lord!
Tomorrow’s reading is Psalm 66-70.
