The Taunt of the Enemy

Deuteronomy 32:27 says, "...but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest the adversary misunderstand and say, 'Our hand has triumphed; the Lord has not done all this.'"

The taunt of your enemy, the Devil, is to say, "...the Lord has not done all this."  You may have experienced a miracle or a great gift from God recently.  The Devil is trying to impress upon your mind the idea that the Lord did not really do what you have been excited about.  The Devil will tempt you to doubt God's work in your life.  He may try to explain away a miracle.  He will try to convince you that your salvation experience was just a psychological thing in your head.

Keep trusting the Lord and his Word.  Later in chapter 32 God says about his Word, "They are not just idle words for you - they are your life.  By them you will live long in the land..."  Don't give in to the enemy's taunts.
