Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD! I have fled to you for refuge. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground! For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life! In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble! And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies, and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul, for I am your servant. (Psalm 143:9-12 ESV)
My enemies - the world, the flesh (myself), and the devil - are constantly seeking to bring down God's children through deceptive lies. David cries out - as I am reminded to do - to the Lord and seeks refuge in Him. This recently has been very important for me as only the Lord can destroy our enemies. Lord, help us!
Psalm 143:5
ReplyDeleteI remember the days of old;
I meditate on all that you have done;
I ponder the work of your hands.
This verse shows that even David had times when he was discouraged and needed to preach to himself God's great works for rejuvenation.
Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD!

on level ground!
For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life!
In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble!
And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies,
and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul,
for I am your servant.
