Psalms 94-96

1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs—
         O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
 2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth;
         Render punishment to the proud.
 3 LORD, how long will the wicked,
         How long will the wicked triumph?
         
 4 They utter speech, and speak insolent things;
         All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.


The Psalmist wrote about people, but to us it has been revealed that we fight not against flesh and blodd, but against spiritual wickedness. Demons speak and undermine the people of God. They us our flesh, they use our friends, they use the world system, but when we struggle we should remember these prayers of psalm 94:


18 If I say, "My foot slips,"
         Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.
 19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
         Your comforts delight my soul.
