OUR FATHER WHO OVERRUNS THE ENEMY

The psalmist starts the 9th psalm with grateful praise unto the Lord and then records this verse as the first item that he offers as to why he is giving thanks;

My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you -  ( Psalm 9 verse 3 )

Those who have arrayed themselves to attack the people of God to destroy them are forced to turn back by the power of the Lord.

Their carefully laid plans to conquer God's people fail and as they retreat before the presence of God, they fall into chaos as they stumble and perish before the Lord.

This the great blessing of being under  the Lord's covering and protection is that even with great odds against us, the Lord will defeat any enemy.

Amen.
