4-4-08 Psalm 81:13-16 God Will Quickly Subdue Your Enemies!

Psalms 81:13-16 (NAS)
Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways! I would quickly subdue their enemies, And turn My hand against their adversaries. Those who hate the LORD would pretend obedience to Him; And their time of punishment would be forever.But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat; And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.
Psalms 81:13-16 (NLT)
But oh, that my people would listen to me! Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths! How quickly I would then subdue their enemies! How soon my hands would be upon their foes! Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him; their desolation would last forever. But I would feed you with the best of foods. I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock.

Adonai, the Lord God, created a nation and people for Himself, those who would build and establish His Kingdom on the earth. You are one of His people and He has made you His child. Now He asks that you listen and obey His voice. He wants you to be completely attentive to Him, so that you can understand all that He is saying unto you. When you consent and yield to His will, you will find that you are walking with Him, as a friend with a friend.

In your journey, you will see that God will defend you against your enemies. Because these are of little worth in His eyes, He will make short work of them. Although your foes may have seemed great and overwhelming to you, in the eyes of the Almighty, they are small and diminished. He easily humbles and subdues them. When the Lord turns His hand and His strength towards them, He soon brings them down until they are lower and less than anything else.

Those who hate Jehovah, the Lord God, are deceived. Though they prosper for awhile, they soon will fail; for the Lord has found them to be liars who deal falsely. They will be disappointed and grow lean, even if they feign obedience. Yet Adonai desires them to repent and turn to Him; He, therefore, is long-suffering toward them, giving them time to truly turn back to Him. The Lord God wants every man to experience His everlasting life, but He leaves the choice to each individual.

Because you have chosen to follow the Lord, He now allows you to eat from the choicest and the best portions. He gives you abundance from all the produce of the land; you are greatly blessed with wheat. Even if you are up against a rocky wall or stranded on a cliff, God causes honey to flow to you. No matter what circumstance you are in, Adonai will fill and satisfy you. You will always be enriched and have excess.
