Psalm 59:6-10
(Click here for link to full text)
Living as though there is no God can be easy, for a while. After some time, people can even convince themselves they are God. This was what made early Christians' claim that 'Jesus is Lord' so controversial--Caesar, and only Caesar, was Lord. Believing there is no God, some people can believe that they are the ultimate power and that all authority runs through them.
Those of us who know and believe that God alone is all-powerful can take comfort in the fact that God will one day set things right. We can take confidence in the power of God to conquer those who oppose him or claim his place on the throne. (The scene is almost funny--some small human trying to ascend and claim the throne where God dwells in in unapproachable light.) In God alone, our confidence is in the right place, and he will welcome us into his glory, for God loves to share his glory, mercy and love with those who pledge their lives to him.
May you stand firm in the confidence of God
