Day 253 – Psalm 64

“The righteous shall be glad in the LORD…” Psalm 64:10a

TRIUMPH IN GOD

Evil is a powerful enemy. Evil can only be effectively dealt a mortal blow by God Himself. Many precious lessons may be learned through meditation on how God defeats evil.

“All men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing.
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and trust in Him,
And all the upright in heart shall glory.”
Psalm 64:9-10
