Crushed

October 6 - I pursued my enemies and crushed them;I did not turn back till they were destroyed. I crushed them completely, and they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.

Now, we’re in the thick of battle here, but our feet are not slipping.  In fact, we have turned and started pursuing those who were pursuing us.  And we destroy them. Completely!  They cannot even rise again!

Any time we feel defeated and crushed and overtaken, we can look at our own hearts and see what’s taking place. Are we looking around for strength in other places besides God?  Are we carrying every burden on our shoulders so that our legs have become weak?  And are our hands hanging limp due to despair?

We all fall into a pit sometimes, but it’s usually one we’ve dug for ourselves.  However, there’s always a rope dangling, and all we have to do is grab it.  God never leaves us in the dark.  We can’t hide from him.

The very pits and traps set for us, God will use them to destroy those who set them. 

What an awesome God we serve.
