Psalm 83
A Bible Devotion from Psalm 83
1 Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;
5 For they have consulted together with one consent; they form a confederacy against You:
9 Deal with them as with Midian, as with Sisera, as with Jabin at the Brook Kishon, 10 Who perished at En Dor,
18 That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
In my high school years I did not appreciate history as much as I do today. History just seemed to be a subject filled with dates of battles. It is true, however, that many countries recount their history through battles fought because these battles shaped the future of their country.
So, it is natural to think of our history being shaped from one battle to the next. We don't, however, have knowledge of the future. The Psalmist here already knows the future; our Lord, the Most High will have the final victory and will rule over all.
Pray today that God will give you peace amidst a world of wars, terrorism, and unrest because you already know the future; you know who will win the last battle!
