You are my King and my God,
Psalms 44:4-5 (NIV)
who decrees victories for Jacob.
Through you we push back our enemies;
through your name we trample our foes.
God is our King so who will defeat him? He makes decrees for his people, “Jacob”, so that we will have victory. When our enemy is our circumstances then he makes all things work together for good because we love him (Rom. 8:28). When our enemy is our own flesh we walk in the Spirit and defeat the desires of the flesh (Gal. 5:16). When our enemy is other people we win victory by loving our enemies (Matt. 5:11-12). When our enemy is Satan then we stand in victory wearing the armor of God and wielding the sword of the Spirit. Ultimately we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against dark spiritual powers, and we succeed. (Eph. 6:10-17). Our weapons have divine power to establish the knowledge of God (2 Cor. 10:4). No one can defeat our God nor can anything defeat us when we abide in him; we are more than conquerors (Rom. 8:37).
