“You ascended on high, leading a host of captives in your train and receiving gifts among men, even among the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there. Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Our God is a God of salvation, and to GOD, the Lord, belong deliverances from death. But God will strike the heads of his enemies…” Psalm 68:18-21b Thank Jesus for his blood that obtained and sustains us rebellious people, and his work at the cross that crushed both his and our enemies: sin, death, and satan. Savor the gospel truths that are dimly yet fiercely illuminated throughout the Psalms. In them we find our despair giving way to hope, a growing understanding of impossibility of self and a diminishing self-will when placed next to the Victory of Christ.
