Today’s Psalm was Psalm 11, and I found it be be bold and encouraging, annother confident way to address the enemy when he’s whispering lies to me.
And so I respond to the whispers from Satan – Who are you to say to me to run away? Look at yourself, you shoot in the dark. You think if you destroy the foundations that I am helpless? The Lord remains on His throne, and He tests me, and punishes the wicked. God is righteous, and loves the deeds of the righteous, and when he tests me and I am found to be upright, I know I will see His face.
God’s Word against the enemy always wins.
Psalm 11 (ESV)
1 In the Lord I take refuge;
how can you say to my soul,
Flee like a bird to your mountain,
2 for behold, the wicked bend the bow;
they have fitted their arrow to the string
to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
3 if the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?[a]
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
the Lord’s throne is in heaven;
his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.
5 The Lord tests the righteous,
but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
6 Let him rain coals on the wicked;
fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the Lord is righteous;
he loves righteous deeds;
the upright shall behold his face.
