Psalm 124
-Theme:
Overcoming overwhelming odds for survival because of the LORD’s deliverance.
God’s answers to those who are on His side.
-Historical Insight: This is a Psalm of ascent attributed to
David, possibly written after his defeat of the Philistines (2 Samuel 5:17-25).
-*Application* Have you ever felt like the underdog in a
battle, but with extreme confidence that things would turn out in your favor?
This is the confidence we should have in our God when we know that He is on our
side. People will rise up against you, but His Word trumps all the others. What
He determines will occur and nothing can stop it. David experienced this
firsthand with Goliath earlier in his life (1 Samuel 17). His trust in the LORD
and what He could accomplish gave David the strength and courage he needed to
defy incredible odds. With God you have a majority, and He can do all things (Matthew
19:26, Mark 9:23; 10:27). So take to your Heavenly Father the seemingly insurmountable
obstacles in your path today that threaten to swallow you, engulf you, tear
you, and sweep over your soul. When the raging waters tumult on every side,
look for your escape and help from the Name of the LORD who made heaven and
earth (Psalm 124:7-8, Acts 17:24). He will deliver.
