"The Beat-Down"

"And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him." (Psalms 89:23)
Don't try and tell me that God does not have a sense of humor, because I know that He does. If God had a mike, then He just dropped it, walking back to the Throne to watch His victory play on. I am willing to bet that Satan really did know, he just could not believe it could be so! That's what pride does to you, pride makes you stupid; it's the opposite of wisdom. Pride takes everything that is right and orderly, and just throws it all right out the window; while at the same time, replacing truth with something that is totally made up and so unbelievable, it has to be studied to see whether or not there is any truth to it at all. Don't believe it? Okay, then what would encourage anyone or anything created to think that it could replace the Creator? Seriously, it is like someone standing on the tracks while a train is approaching them at 100 miles an hour, thinking that, when the train hits them it will totally stop and fall off it's track; not going to happen! The devil knows the Scriptures, and he is not a fool, he just does not have any common sense. That said, he knows enough about us to knock anyone of us off our game, including the ones who seem to have it all together. This verse might not spell out all that it could, but it gives us enough to understand that we don't mess with God or any of His anointed servants. You would think that would be common knowledge, if you actually know your Bible. If you don't, well then, shame on you, because it's not really an excuse that you will have at your disposal. That would be like being the one standing on the tracks, and after your knocked off the face of this earth, standing before God and saying, No body told me that it wouldn't work! If you have ever seen the Monty Python movie, The Holy Grail, then you might remember the part with the Black Knight; you know, the one where he looses all of his limbs one by one, until he's just a nub on the ground, but still challenging his foe to fight him. That's what I and talking about, it's just like that...
"Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans? The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one. "Let us break their chains," they cry, "and free ourselves from the slavery to God." But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury. The Lord declares, "I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain." The king proclaims the LORD'S decree: "The LORD said to me, 'You are my son. Today I have become your Father. Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession. You will break them with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.'" Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth! Serve the LORD with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling. Submit to God's royal son, or he will be angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities -for his anger flares up in an instant. But what joy for all who take refuge in him!" (Psalms 2) NLT
