Psalm 18:29
29 For by thee I have run through [ruwts] a troop; [gaduwd] and by my
God ['elohiym] have I leaped over [dalag] a wall. [shuwr] KJV-Interlinear
29 For
by Thee I can run upon a troop; And by my God I can leap over a wall. NASB
This is the devils world
and it is full of enemies of God. Anyone
and everyone who rejects or is indifferent toward truth, is an enemy of God.
And if you have aligned yourself with God, by means of your pursuit of truth as
prescribed by God, then all of those enemies are your enemies as well.
The world is full of
enticements, deceits, compromised morals and standards, lusts and more. When you slump off of doctrine then you are
at risk of succumbing to any and all of Gods.
But, when you maintain
your pursuit and passion for doctrine and obedience to doctrine, then no enemy
can defeat you.
And here is the verse
that describes just that.
A troop, is a reference
to armies, bands of gangs, opposing forces, all of which outnumber you. Each individual believer is but one person,
and the world is far greater. The forces
of religion, philosophies, opinions, attitudes, and on and on, are all in
opposition of truth.
To run through that
opposition is to continue your daily life through thick and thin, day in and
day out, even though everything seems against you. Doctrine is the stabilizing force. Doctrine is the driving force. Doctrine is the mechanism and means of
surviving in this world without succumbing to the worlds views.
To jump over the wall, is
to escape from entrapment.
Again, the world seeks to
entrap you and to keep you from truth and from growth and from your spiritual
life.
And in all of these
adversities, it is not you that secures the victory, but God, through doctrine.
By means of God, you can
live in this world. By means of God, you
are able to escape the onslaughts of the world.
And it is Doctrine in you, that gives you access to God and His grace,
and that deliverance.
Of course, you have to
learn doctrine before you can use it.
