Having Overcome the World

If you get worried about current events, be certain to include in your array of thoughts that the First-born of our family was raised from the dead.

Are You not from everlasting,
O LORD, my God, my Holy One?
We will not die.
O LORD, You have appointed them to execute judgment;
O Rock, You have established them for correction.
Your eyes are too pure to look on evil,
and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing.
So why do You tolerate the faithless?
Why are You silent
while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?
You have made men like the fish of the sea,
like sea creatures with no ruler.
The Chaldeans bring all of them up with a hook;
they catch them in their dragnet,
and gather them in their fishing net;
so they are glad and rejoice.
Therefore they sacrifice to their dragnet
and burn incense to their fishing net,
for by these things their portion is sumptuous
and their food is rich.
Will they, therefore, empty their net
and continue to slay nations without mercy?

I will stand at my guard post.
(Habakkuk 1:12-2:1 BEREAN STUDY BIBLE © Bible Hub)

With his own spear You pierced his head,
when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,
gloating as though ready to secretly devour the weak.
You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.
I heard and trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound.
Decay entered my bones; I trembled where I stood.
Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress
to come upon the people who invade us.

Though the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines,
though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food,
though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls,
yet I will exult in the LORD;
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
GOD the Lord is my strength;
He makes my feet like those of a deer;
He makes me walk upon the heights!
