2-18-08 Psalm 35:7, 8 Your Enemy Will Fall Into His Pit

Psalms 35:7, 8 (NAS)
For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let the net which he hid catch himself; Into that very destruction let him fall.

Psalms 35:7,8 (NLT)
Although I did them no wrong, they laid a trap for me. Although I did them no wrong, they dug a pit for me. So let sudden ruin overtake them! Let them be caught in the snare they set for me! Let them fall to destruction in the pit they dug for me.

Sometimes you may feel as if you have been blind-sided and attacks are coming at you without cause and undeservedly. Since you walk in God's grace and favor, you are now a target of His greatest enemy. Although Almighty God has shown you mercy and consideration, Satan finds you loathsome. He tries his best to lay siege to you and your property. However, do not let the care of this weigh you down.

Although under the cover of darkness, he lies in wait for you, do not let yourself become discouraged. He may spread a net to capture and bury you; he, however, will not succeed. He cannot take possession of the inheritance that the Lord your God has prepared for you. He cannot bring you to poverty or devour you.

Satan may have dug a pit for you, but you do not have to give in to the depression that he brings against your mind. You do not have to bow yourself down or sink into the despair that the enemy is showing you. Instead you should stand tall, with your head and your hands held high to heaven.

As you turn your attention to the Lord, you will see the ruin and destruction, that was planned for you, come upon your enemy. He will not even understand or know what is happening to him. He will be caught in the net intended to capture you. The pit that he dug for your destruction will be the plot where he will be buried.
