STAND

Psalms 5:10
Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

God’s people do not have to worry about anything, especially their enemies. God’s children have the assurance that their enemies will be swallowed by their own counsels. The only time when this does not happen is when God gives permission for His children to be hurt. At such times, God even uses their enemies as a form of chastisement for their disobediences and evil deeds. God even said that He would fight and be His children’s enemy at times, and He often does that by using their opponents.

If our heart is right, if we obey our Father’s commandments, we do not have to worry about the ungodly and the wicked. If we live the way we know God wants us to, if we stay within the parameters of His pavilion in obedience and submission to His commandments, we abide under the security of His protection. The demise of satan, the adversary of God is certain; his fall has been predicted from the Garden of Eden, and we can live with the assurance that in God, we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37) (emphasis mine) .

Lies, deceit, rebellion, disobedience and transgressions cannot stand before God. Those who practice them seal their own fate. We don’t have to fight darkness, its people and influences; all we have to do is stand; stand for God and His ways unmovable and unshakable (Ephesians 6:13). This is the picture of the true soldier in Messiah’s army, adamantly standing in defiance against the influences of the enemy’s world. He doesn’t budge an inch from his position; he knows his Lord has drawn His sword of justice and already destroyed the enemy.
