Both the Psalm and Joshua 9-13 are filled with bloodshed.

Joshua and his armies continue to clear Israel. None of the devices of any of the kings of Canaan work against the onslaught.

The Psalm also talks about how God controls the world, and mocks the plans of the wicked.

“Ask and I will give you all the nations,” Psalm 2 says, which makes me wonder if we ask Him enough to deliver us from evil…. although the rest of the Psalm seems to be prophetic, talking about Jesus and his kingdom.

Dear God, Deliver us from evil, teach us your love so we may show it to others. Thank you for my fabulous day with my friends L and C and also my father and children and husband. I have faith in You. Help me to have more faith.

In Jesus’ name, Amen
