LICK THE DUST

Have there been times in your life when you felt like you were at the end of your rope -- when enemies or problems shoved you between a rock and a hard place or into a wilderness.

Surely, David remembered the times he hid from enemies pursuing his life when he wrote the following verse:

Psalm 72:9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall "lick the dust".

I love David's metaphore, "lick the dust". He could've also said, "busted, whammed, bammed, thwacked, whacked, whomped, whumped, distroyed, smashed or gone."

or something like that.

The next time a debacle attacks your life, ask The Lord for a "lick the dust" victory and believe He will destroy the enemy.

Psalm 72:12  For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

God is good!
