They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them?” Psalm 64:5 – David as he writes dwells on the reality that there were many who wanted him gone. This group we’ll call his enemies plotted in secret ways to destroy and take David out. David even describes a quality of his enemies’ evil plotting, they were steadfast in it. They didn’t let a speedbump or two keep them from their aim of destroying David. They didn’t let a pushback, difficultly, or struggle keep them from their purpose, they remained holding fast to their goal of taking David down. With then such a steadfast group of enemies, what could David do? He could hold fast even more so to His God than his enemies were holding fast to their evil purpose. The goal of David’s enemies and our enemy is to keep us from holding fast to the Lord for from the Lord comes all strength, joy, peace, and rest. All we need and more to live this life passionately for the Lord comes from a holding fast to the Lord. So…hold fast. Don’t be worried when you hear you have an enemy holding fast to his evil purposes for you. Let him hold fast, for as we see in this psalm our God can destroy the one seeking to destroy us and the result is the world pondering on all that God can do. How amazing is our God, so hold fast to Him always. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3477
