Taking the Lord with you into battle

Psalm 64 is known as the "Prayer for Protection from Secret Enemies."  Seems rather fitting, given what's going on in the world today with COVID-19.

The psalmist asks God to guard our life from the enemy, hide us from their secret counsel and conspiracy.  The words of our enemies are like venomous arrows.  Our enemies encourage themselves in their evil agenda, devising plans of deceit and injustice.

Remember this Psalm as you go through life nowadays--and not just today, but everyday.  Even in the years, decades, and centuries to come.  The Lord is with those who worship Him.

Starting in verse 7, God will attack them unexpectedly.  They will stumble, using their own words against them.

In the end, the righteous will rejoice in refuge of the Lord and we will glorify His Holy Name.
