Psalm 124

Praise be to the Lord,
    who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird
    from the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
    and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

This is interesting, because it's not always true. Sometimes the bad guys...win.

In this life anyway.

It's interesting how you could easily transfer this into a health and wealth type of thought, where God will protect and honour you if you follow Him.

But that was what they knew before Jesus. Before the Holy Spirit descended on His followers empowering them to sacrifice themselves for the Gospel. Before it was apparent that death was the true enemy (weird when you compared human enemies to death). It was conquered once, and will be again. 

Bad things are going to happen, but they should focus us to Revelation where we finally live without tears and pain. They can put our eyes to a time when the real pain we feel with losses and conflict will just be a memory. When we're at one with Jesus, rescued from our enemies sin and death. Escaping like a bird from the fowler's snare.

Our help is in the name of the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.
