God Delivers Us from Our Enemy (Psalm 59, Part 2)

The enemy attack (verses 6-10a)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2059:6-9&version=NIV

With the current economic crisis our world seems to spin out of control on its way to destruction. Unmoved, God laughs at the efforts of His enemies to harm His faithful ones. May our difficulties lead us to prayer and increase our faith. Then may our prayers and faith lead us to praise God. May we pray for our enemies, that God’s mercy would go before them, as it goes before us.

Laughing God, our enemies return to attack us. See what they spew from their mouths. We thank You that You are our strength and fortress. We can rely on You.

Punishment of the enemy (verses 10b-13)

Our airwaves are full of slander and deception. In the midst of this media bombardment may we place our confidence in our powerful God. We know we are safe, because God is the God of our mercy. May the whole world know that God justly punishes.

Thank You, Lord God our shield, that You will go before us. In Your justice, Lord, let the ends of the earth know that You rule over the earth.
