Psalm 108:13 (NIV) - With God we will gain the victory,    and He will trample down our enemies.

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

It is natural to become defensive or combative when mistreated, but the way of Christ calls us to respond with humility and love. As we remember our sin and what we actually deserve, we are humbled. As we remember our opponents and what they actually need we desire to see them blessed.

The seventy returned with joy, saying, 'Lord, in your name even the demons submit to us!' He said to them, 'I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you.'

Luke 10:17-19 NRSV (1989)

[quotesfromscripture]

Every place on which you set foot shall be yours; your territory shall extend from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the Western Sea. No one will be able to stand against you; the LORD your God will put the fear and dread of you on all the land on which you set foot, as he promised you.

Deuteronomy 11:24-25 NRSV (1989)

[quotesfromscripture]

You want war? You’ve got it.

“This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says:

‘In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it. You said, “No, we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! You said, “We will ride off on swift horses.” Therefore your pursuers will be swift! A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee away, till you are left like a flagstaff on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.’ ”

- Isaiah 30:15-17 NIV (2011)
