Life is a battle. Sometimes, it is a battle in which we find ourselves against impossible odds. You – alone – against the world.
Have you ever stood alone again such overwhelming odds? Everywhere you turn, the enemy attacks. You’re surrounded.
Not only are you outnumbered, but outsized. This is no ordinary enemy; they are giants.
In this psalm, David, facing his enemies, prays for God to intervene. Specifically, he prays that God would strike his enemies in the jaw and break their teeth.
The image I conjure in my head is that of a boxer who has knocked his opponent out cold. The enemy is down for the count and God is declared the winner.
Remember this. If you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, then you never face your enemies alone. God fights for you. He knocks out the enemy with a single blow to the jaw. He is always the clear winner. He brings victory to us. He is the Victor. Our deliverer. Our king.
Fear Not, for God strikes our enemies.
