What God Says He Does

Today's Reading: Psalm 76

God is honored in Judah, his name is great in Israel.  Jerusalem is where he lives; Mount Zion is his home.  There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy, the shields and swords and weapons of war.
You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains.  Our boldest enemies have been plundered.  They lie before us in the sleep of death.  No warrior could lift a hand against us.  At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob, their horses and chariots lay still.  No wonder you are greatly feared!  Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?  From heaven you sentenced your enemies; the earth trembled and stood silent before you.  You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God, and to rescue the oppressed of the earth.  Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon.
Make vows to the Lord your God, and keep them.  Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.  For he breaks the pride of princes, and the kings of the earth fear him. 

     God's place, his home is described here in verses 1-3 as well as how he defends it.  He is doing the same for all believers.  He fights to protect us and guide us.
     As mentioned in verses 7-8 of chapter 75, It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall.  For the Lord holds a cup in his hand that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices.  He pours out the wine in judgement, and all the wicked must drink it, draining it to the dregs. God's judgement has come to pass.  The rest of the chapter, verses 4-12, affirm the words of Psalms 75:7-8.  What God says He does.  He keeps His word.
