Psalm and Praise, Day 13

Are our thoughts our enemy? Read Psalm chapter 13.

As we went through this psalm today, I’m struck by the fact that in this verse we can truly understand sometimes our greatest enemy is our own self. Sometimes our thoughts can be what comes against us and what drives us to doubt and to struggle. We need to understand that God overcomes our thoughts.

God is greater than our own judgments and condescending words that we say to ourselves. We need to keep our opinion of ourselves based in the truth of God’s love for us and God’s understanding of who we are. Do we speak the truth of who we are to ourselves? Are we allowing God to speak through his word to us so that we know and believe the truth.
