Enemies Defeated: A Reflection

When your enemies are defeated, it should give you peace. Many times, people face enemies in different forms:

People who hate you for no reason,

Lies that are spread about you, or

Attacks from the devil to weaken your faith.

Exodus 14:14 says,

The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.

To see Enemies Defeated means:

Trusting God to fight battles you cannot fight: It means surrendering your worries about hidden enemies or unseen battles to God, believing He sees what you do not see and will defend you powerfully in His perfect time.

Refusing to repay evil for evil but leaving it to God: It means choosing forgiveness and peace instead of revenge, trusting that God is just and will repay every wrong done to you in His righteous and merciful way.

Knowing that no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17): It means standing firm without fear when attacked spiritually or physically, believing God’s promise that every plan of the enemy will fail because His protection over you never fails.

David had many enemies, including King Saul, who wanted to kill him without cause. Yet, David chose to honor God and did not fight back in his own strength.

In the end, God removed Saul and placed David on the throne.

Today, if you feel attacked at work, home, or by spiritual forces, remember that all your enemies will be defeated, and that’s God’s promise.

Pray for those who hurt you, but trust that God will defend you. He sees every lie, betrayal, and secret plan against you.

When Jesus was betrayed by Judas and arrested, He did not fight back with swords. He trusted the Father’s will. In the end, He rose in victory, defeating death and the devil forever.
