Psalm 60:12: Through God we will do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down our enemies.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
Through God we shall do valiantly. From God all power proceeds, and all we do well is done by divine operation; but still we, as soldiers of the great King, are to fight, and to fight valiantly too. Divine working is not an argument for human inaction, but rather it is the best excitement for courageous effort. For he it is that shall tread down our enemies. From him shall the might proceed, to him shall the honor be given. It shall rather be his foot which presses them down than ours. We shall do valiantly. We will not be ashamed of our colors, afraid of our foes, or fearful of our cause. The Lord is with us and we will not hesitate; we dare not be cowards. 1
Living the Transformed Life
Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle. Psalm 144:1
- Since the Lord is for us, we will follow Him, obey His Word, and walk in victory.
- Since the Lord is for us, we will chose to serve Him valiantly, and never cowardly.
- Since the Lord is for us, we will not let our enemies intimidate us, for His foot shall press them down, and we shall be forever free from their tormenting threats.
The One who conquered death is the One who provides victory.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for all the victories You keep providing for me. Dear Jesus, please teach me to live valiantly and courageously, and in victory.
