Psalm 83 - God rise up

There are times in life when God seems to ignore us, or be totally oblivious to what is going on in our lives or the world around us. The Psalms show that God is totally aware that that is how we sometimes feel. 
The enemies of God were making threatening noises and were conspiring against God's people. They were united against God and His people. The Psalmist then lists several nations that were working as one.
Then the Psalmist calls on God to fight against these nations as He had fought against other nations in the past.
Today our society is increasingly anti-Christian. There is not much in the way of violence against Christians in the West (though there is in other parts of the world), but in the UK at least the state is slowly trying to suffocate the church. We do well to remember that this is far from being the first time that the state has tried to crush the church, and it has never succeeded yet, nor will it do so now.
There will come a point where God will demonstrate to the nations beyond all doubt that He is Lord over all the earth.
