Psalm 46

In the two minutes it took me to read this psalm I think I caught part of the message the son's of Korah were trying to share. The message that God fights the battles for his people. When I hear that statement the first thought that comes to mind is; then why all these defeats? As I ponder the truth about God's nature revealed in this psalm I am lead to at least one possible answer. That what I view as a battle and defeat is not the battle concerning God. Consider those Chistians through the ages who kept the faith at the cost of their lives. The battle was not against the flesh of those blinded by the enemy's lies, but against the lie itself. They won the victory when they held fast to the truth of Jesus' divinity and sole Lordship.
