The sword that we wield is a weighty sword. Like a natural sword, the Word is powerful and able to strike down formidable enemies, mighty strong holds, and is sharper than any two-edged sword. But we do not have to do it alone. We are not sent on the battlefield without support. We fight with the power of the Holy Spirit.
David was strengthened by the Lord when cutting off the head of Goliath, and Jael, the woman in the Song of Deborah, who brought down the enemy with a spike. Both were empowered by the Lord. Our victories too require the power of God, walking in His wisdom, and in His strength. Christ says to bring our cares and lay them on His shoulders, assuring us of His available strength saying, “His yoke is easy and His burden is light” (Matt. 11:30).
We were never meant to live the Christian life defenseless. We were never designed to go it alone. Life takes courage and confidence. We need the wisdom and strength of the Lord as we move forward each day. In Christ, we have the power of the Holy Spirit and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, to win the victory in each battle, one day at a time.
