Psalm 68 describes the mighty power of God over the needy and his enemies. For those who are in need, Psalm 68:5-6 says, "Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land." Our God is the protector and provider for the fatherless, the orphans, and the widows. He cares for and comforts those who are lonely. Psalm 68:20 says, "Our God is a God who saves! The Sovereign Lord rescues us from death." Our Lord Jesus saved us from eternal death when He died on the cross. God sent our Lord Jesus to rescue us from our sufferings and misery. Someday, we will all rejoice in His presence when God takes us away from this world to be with Him, and we will experience the true peace and joy that we have been longing for.
However, for God's enemies, Psalm 68:21-22 says, "But God will smash the heads of his enemies, crushing the skulls of those who love their guilty ways. The Lord says, 'I will bring my enemies down from Bashan; I will bring them up from the depths of the sea.'" All God's enemies will not be able to escape the judgment of God. There will be a time when God will judge all evil in this world once and for all. Satan, his demons, and everyone who chooses to follow the ways of Satan will someday be thrown into the lake of fire for eternity. God's mighty power can save people who are in need and judge his enemies once and for all. David ends Psalm 68 in this way, "Tell everyone about God's power. His majesty shines down on Israel; his strength is mighty in the heavens. God is awesome in his sanctuary. The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!"
Let us always rejoice and praise our God, for there is no other God like Him. He is a mighty God who saves and judges His enemies. We can rely on our God forever, for He is our Mighty God.
Questions for application: (Think through these questions carefully, meditate on them while answering them, and let the Spirit of God speak to you.) How has God shown His care for me? Why can I trust God? What is God going to do to his enemies?
Write down all the worries you face today and lift them up to God.
Prayer:
Dear Father in Heaven, I acknowledge that you are the Mighty God, and there is no one like you. You care for people in need and judge your enemies. Nothing or no one can stand against you. Your mighty power is above every power and dominion in this world. I trust you and believe that you are taking care of all my needs. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
