Psalms 70 is a prayer seeking deliverance from adversaries. In essence, David, in this psalm, implores God for judgment. While some may fear God's judgment, there is no need for us to harbor such fear; however, our adversaries undoubtedly tremble, for when God judges His people, He not only delivers and rewards but also punishes, shames, and disgraces their enemies. Often, we find ourselves cornered by people or situations that aim to discourage us, bring shame, or lead to failure, with the intent to destroy us or our families. At times, life may seem unjust, and we may feel unfairly sentenced without cause. Through this psalm, David introduces us to the God who judges, the One who can deliver us and turn the shame and disgrace intended for us by our enemies back onto them, bringing glory and victory to us. When facing pain or perceiving life as unjust without reason, it's crucial to remember that the mere fact of being a valuable asset to the advancement of the Kingdom of God can make us a target for adversaries seeking to disrupt our lives. However, I also want to remind you that there is a God who saves and delivers His people, a God who judges. When we call upon Him, He not only shames, disgraces, and confuses our adversaries but also destroys them.
