Psalm 118:5
Although we may not find ourselves on a physical battlefield surround by enemies, we are in a real war for our very souls. For as Paul warns us, “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephs. 6:12) The battle is real, and against the ruler of this world, Satan, we need all the help we can get. We need the protection of almighty God. For we cannot win the war on our own. And crying out to God in our distress is our greatest weapon. Because the Lord answers the pleas of His children, and like He did with the psalmist, God will set us on a high place. A place of freedom on all sides for our hearts and minds. And a freedom no enemy can take away.
