Fight
1 Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take up shield and armor;
arise and come to my aid.
3 Brandish spear and javelin[a]
against those who pursue me.
Say to me,
“I am your salvation.”Psalm 35:1-3
This week I saw about 50 robins around my backyard on roofs around me just sitting, and every once in a while a robin would fly into my backyard. It looked like it would be going for my trees with berries. The moment each robin crossed my fence line, they were immediately attacked by a mockingbird who had taken up residence here. So, for over two hours this kept occurring where a robin would come in and then the mockingbird would fight it off. It was quite the interesting dance, but then I realized that the mockingbird was trying to protect something valuable. This is the same thing that our Father in Heaven has done for us by regularly protecting us from the enemy. We are valuable in His eyes and his protection is there from things that try to steal us from Him. We need to take heart that God is there to protect us, we just need to do our part and ask him to protect us against the fiery darts of the enemy. He is the One that can contend with anything thrown at us.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
