Worry accomplishes nothing good for our health and God’s glory. Worry often accompanies events that never affect us. Worry is often associated with the “what if” situations in the future. Beloved, trust God’s goodness and invest your energies in that which is more productive. Tomorrow will care for itself, but each day is filled with enough temptations and spiritual tests and opportunities to serve others and pray to keep us busy. Be thankful for the day that God has made, deal with the daily matters God has placed before you, find true peace that transcends the real pain that comes from living in a fallen world and then live each day, one day at a time.

EXPOSITION.

The destruction of our spiritual enemies is complete. We may exult over sin, death and hell, as disarmed and disabled _for_ us by our conquering Lord; may he graciously give them a like defeat _within_ us.

EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.

Verse 38.–“_I have wounded them_,” etc. Greater is he that is in us than he that is against us, and God shall bruise Satan under our feet shortly. #Ro 15:20|. ^W. Wilson.

Verses 38-40.–Though passion possess our bodies, let “patience possess our souls.” The law of our profession binds us to a warfare; _patiendo vincimus_, our troubles shall end, our victory is eternal. Hear David’s triumph, “_I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. Thou hast given me the necks of mine enemies,” etc. They have wounds for their wounds; and the treaders down of the poor are trodden down by the poor. The Lord will subdue those to us that would have subdued us to themselves; and though for a short time they rode over our heads, yet now at last we shall everlastingly tread upon their necks. Lo, then, the reward of humble patience and confident hope!–^Thomas Adams.
