“Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.” Psalm 35:25
The picture here is not the outward expression of the words of hate but the thoughts of an evil mind against us. Those words in the inner man that express the joy of an others defeat. David is asking the LORD not to give them the satisfaction of his defeat in their hearts. “Let them not say in their hearts”
Don’t allow those that have devised false reports to say in their hearts, ‘I knew it, we were right all along’ and have the inner joy because of it. Don’t allow them to have the false attitude of self-righteousness. “Ah, so would we have it”
We may lose some battles but we won’t lose the war. Our victory is in CHRIST JESUS Who keeps His promise never to leave or forsake. He is “the victory that overcomes the world”. A battle lost can be devastating to us but let us say to the world, in the end we will not be defeated, the final victory is ours. LORD please don’t let them have the slightest thought that they have swallowed us up and finished us.“let them not say, We have swallowed him up.”
The thoughts of an evil man
Are the viper of the snake.
Twisting truth and mocking you
They are hard for us to take.
The serpent’s bite will not hold on
To the one that trusts the LORD.
The thoughts of the wicked one
Will collapse and be ignored.
“I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:10
