God, Don't Leave Us on Read.

Psalms 83 — When the whole group chat wants you deleted and God's on mute

4 min read

Key Takeaways

Asaph built his whole case on God's track record — faith under pressure isn't vibes, it's anchoring yourself in what God already proved He can do.
God's silence hits different when your enemies are loud, but Asaph knew silence doesn't mean absence and kept pressing anyway.

📢 Chapter 83 — God, Don't Leave Us on Read 🙏

is back, and this time it's not a song — it's a 911 call. Every nation surrounding has linked up in a massive coalition with one goal: erase God's people from existence. This isn't paranoia. This is a coordinated threat from every direction.

So Asaph does the only thing that makes sense — he goes straight to God. No small talk, no warm-up. Just raw, urgent from someone who knows that if God doesn't move, it's over.

God, Please Say Something 🗣️

The opens with begging God to break His silence. When your enemies are loud and God is quiet, that silence hits different:

"God, don't be quiet right now. Don't stay still, don't hold back — we need You to speak. Your enemies are out here making noise, raising their heads like they've already won. They're plotting against Your people — scheming against the ones You call treasured."

"They're saying, 'Let's wipe them out completely. Let the name of Israel be forgotten forever.'"

That's not just a military threat — it's an attempt to undo God's . They don't just want to defeat . They want to delete . Erase the name, erase the memory, erase the story God has been writing. 😤

The Whole Group Chat Turned Against Us 📱

lays out the receipts. This isn't one enemy — it's a full coalition, and they're all in agreement:

"They conspire together with one mind. Against You, God, they've made a pact — Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the people of Tyre. Even Assyria has joined them — backing the descendants of Lot."

That's basically every surrounding nation on the map. East, west, south, north — everyone showed up to the group chat and said "bet." It's giving coordinated takedown. The enemies of God's people have never been more united, and the threat has never been more real. ⚡

Remember What You Did Before 🗡️

Now shifts from describing the problem to reminding God of His track record. This is the — the historical receipts:

"Do to them what You did to Midian. What You did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon — who were destroyed at En-dor, who became nothing but dust on the ground. Make their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb. Make their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna — the ones who said, 'Let's take God's land for ourselves.'"

Every name here is a callback to a time God showed up when it looked impossible. and defeating . 300 taking down . Asaph isn't doubting God — he's building his case on what God has already done. That's what looks like under pressure: not pretending everything's fine, but anchoring yourself in what God has already proven. 💯

Bring the Storm 🌪️

The final section is pure . asks God to unleash everything:

"My God, make them like whirling dust — like chaff blown away by the wind. Like fire consuming a forest, like flames setting the mountains ablaze — pursue them with Your storm and terrify them with Your hurricane."

But here's where it gets deeper than just wanting enemies destroyed. The goal isn't annihilation for its own sake:

"Fill their faces with shame so that they seek Your name, O Lord. Let them be disgraced — so that they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth."

That last verse is the whole point. Asaph isn't praying for revenge — he's praying for that leads to recognition. He wants every nation that raised its fist against God to finally understand: there is only one God, and He rules over everything. No cap. 👑
