The Battle of the gods: Psalm 76
“1) God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel. 2) His tabernacle is in Salem; His dwelling place also is in Zion. 3) There He broke the flaming arrows, The shield and the sword and the weapons of war. Selah. 4) You are resplendent, More majestic than the mountains of prey. 5) The stouthearted were plundered, They sank into sleep; And none of the warriors could use his hands. 6) At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep. 7) You, even You, are to be feared; And who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry?” Psalms 76:1-7
I often call it; “The battle of the gods.” Any person, nation or kingdom that rises up and provokes the God of Israel, will soon discover His surpassing might and power.
It was witnessed throughout the Old Testament. When the Jewish people were walking with God, no nation was a match for their God. He was greatly feared.
Knowing this, it baffles me how often they turned away from Him and embraced other gods. It always led to shame and defeat.
God wants us to seek Him on His terms and walk in His ways. When He is honored as Lord, He leads His people in Triumph!
Like Egypt discovers, when His people are right with Him, both horse and rider are cast into the sea. Meanwhile, His people walk in dry ground.
