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: 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. Here the Psalmist recounts victories over Midian, Sisera, Jabin, and others knowing that these victories were evidences of God's intervention. God used these and other victories to show to the nations around Israel that God alone is God over all the earth. 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!
