Today's reading in Psalm 64 from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan is EXCELLENT enmcouragement for us right now! Look at verses 1-6:
1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; guard and preserve
my life from the terror of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret
counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly, from the scheming of
evildoers, 3 Who whet their tongues like a sword, who aim venomous words
like arrows, 4 Who shoot from ambush at the blameless man; suddenly do
they shoot at him, without self-reproach or fear. 5 They
encourage themselves in an evil purpose, they talk of laying snares secretly;
they say, Who will discover us? 6 They think out acts of injustice
and say, We have accomplished a well-devised thing! For the inward thought of
each one [is unsearchable] and his heart is deep.
They THINK that God is not paying attention, these evil doers who plot and scheme and carry out destuctive plans! BUT, Psalm 1:2:
He Who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision [and in supreme contempt He mocks them]. AMPC
God-Enthroned merely laughs at them; the Sovereign One mocks their madness! TPT
AMEN! GOD is not intimidated in any way! In fact, the rfest of Psalm 64 says THIS:
7 But God will shoot an unexpected arrow at them; and
suddenly shall they be wounded. 8 And they will be made to stumble, their
own tongues turning against them; all who gaze upon them will shake their
heads and flee away. 9 And all men shall [reverently] fear and be
in awe; and they will declare the work of God, for they will wisely
consider and acknowledge that it is His doing. 10 The
[uncompromisingly] righteous shall be glad in the Lord and shall trust and take
refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory and offer
praise
AMEN! Our GOD WILL have the last WORD in every situation! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "World Outside Your Window":
