'The
eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms'
(27): This is no guarantee of peaceful tranquillity. For Israel, there
was conflict. 'Saved by the Lord', Israel had found true happiness.
Still, there were 'enemies' to be 'thrust out' and 'trampled down'
(27,29). Knowing the blessing of God's salvation is no guarantee that
life will be easy. When the enemies of the Gospel see a believer intent
on glorifying the Lord, they do all they can to create problems. We have
'enemies' in 'high places' (29; Ephesians 6:12). Their argument is not
with us. It is with God. If God's work is to do well, there needs to be
spiritual leadership. Moses had led God's people in his day. Joshua was
to take his place (9). Moses was important. Joshua was important. The
Lord is more important - 'If God is for us, who can be against us?'
(Romans 8:31).
