Today’s verse is a warning.
“The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.” Psalms 37:12
It reminds us that we are in a constant battle against the wicked and that they are plotting for the just as we speak. This means we cannot let down our guard. We must have the full armor of God on at all times. Ephesians 6:10-18 tells us:
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Today, as we write Psalms 37:12 on our hearts, let us ask God to help us put on the full armor of God to protect us against the plots of those who hate us.
