Taunts

“Then I will answer the one who taunts me, for I trust in your word.” (Psalm 119:42)

David understood what it meant to be taunted by the enemy. When he went to the camp of the Philistines he had heard Goliath come out and taunt the Israelites. He responded then as he said in this Psalm, “I come in the name of the Lord God Almighty.”

When Satan came to Jesus in the wilderness to tempt Him Jesus responded to Satan using Scripture. Sometimes we rely on our own logic or cleverness but as the writer of Hebrews reminds us that the Word of God is powerful. Paul tells us that it is the sword of the Spirit.

Where do we put our trust; in our arguments or in the Word of God? People will taunt us for what we believe. They will tell us that it is not relevant for today and we should get up to date but the Word of God is forever relevant. Do we trust in the Word of God?
