Scripture:
Ps. 8:2
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
Comment:
Who are our enemies?
People are not our enemies, even though they can act like they are
Eph. 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood …
The devil and his demons are our enemies
Eph. 6:12
For we do … wrestle against … principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Eph. 2:2
… the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
1 Pet. 5:8
… your adversary the devil …
The more we realize, and the quicker we recognize, that our real enemy is not the person we see, but the evil spiritual world which we don’t see, the quicker and better we will be able to deal with our problems, e.g. relational problems.
