2 Samuel 22:38–39 (NIV84)
38 “I pursued my enemies and crushed them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
39 I crushed them completely, and they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.

Let me make this short and not so sweet. We have the tendency to pursue our enemies and let them off the hook with a beating. This passage is talking about a man of God who knew how to defeat his enemies – for good! It is time to look at your Goliath and decide to kill him and then cut off his head! No mercy for the enemies of our lives! Let’s kill gossip like stomping on an ant, sexual perversion like cutting off a snake’s head, fear like we are using a bazooka on a smart car, and let’s go after anxiety and stress and slit their throats and watch them die! Too gross? We had better become a little more violent with our enemies and crush them under our feet or before we know it, they will be sitting on our lap – again.
