Psalm 5:9

Psalm 5:9

Psalm 5:9 “Not a word from their [my enemies] mouth can be trusted;”
 
[Satan, our real enemy, is the father of lies: his native language is deception, so nothing he says can be trusted. Just look at how he dealt with Eve in Genesis 3.
 
Every statement was a twisting of truth either by insinuation (“Did God really say….?”), by outright contradiction (“You will not surely die….”) or by accusation of God (…for God knows that when you eat…you will be like God….”). Not one word from Satan or his forces is reliable.]
 
“their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.”
 
[In our enemy Satan and his forces there is no life or light or love. All is rebellion against what is true, right and good. The words and thoughts of Satan and his hordes are destructive, debilitating and demonic.
 
Yet we somehow naturally believe the lies of the devil, like, “If you do this, you will be happier than in denying yourself for God,” and “Don’t miss this one, you’ll never have another chance to indulge yourself like this.”
 
We are drawn like moths to this flame, to the illusion of comfort and power, excitement and fulfillment. But we end up getting burned and having, as the Psalmist says, a mouth full of gravel, broken teeth and ongoing pain. Such is the result of listening to advice from the kingdom of darkness.]
 
Give us wisdom and insight, Lord, so that we might discern and willfully reject the lies of the enemy and walk instead in the light of Truth and Righteousness and Grace, so that your Spirit can have full reign in our lives, bringing you ever more glory.
