Cast Into Fire?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who shall give thanks to your name. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Often evil people gather to carry out their sinister plans.
Psalm 140:9-13 (ESV) starts off referencing a leader of enemy forces who is trying to destroy the psalmist.
“As for the head of those who surround me,
let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
Let burning coals fall upon them!
Let them be cast into fire,
into miry pits, no more to rise!
Let not the slanderer be established in the land;
let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!
I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and will execute justice for the needy.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name;
the upright shall dwell in your presence.”
God can surely destroy our enemies. Let believers give thanks for their deliverance. God is working behind the scenes, so we often do not know what evil has been defeated before it ever reaches us. Praise God.
