THE WORD FOR TODAY
MONDAY DECEMBER 22, 2014.
"STOP FIGHTING IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH"
‘We do not wage war as the world does.’ 2 Corinthians
10:3 NIV
During World War II, Allied bombers carried machine guns
in the nose, under the belly, on top, and in the rear.
B-17s, better known as ‘flying fortresses’, carried
thirteen .50 calibre machine guns. At one point scientists
suggested the planes might actually be safer without
them. Without the extra weight needed to operate the
guns, they could fly faster and higher, increasing their
odds of survival. The pilots, however, thought differently.
They wouldn’t even consider embarking on a mission
without guns to shoot back and defend themselves. With
that thought in mind, Jon Walker says: ‘We make the same
choice when it comes to fighting our own battles.’ God
says we don’t need the guns…we can soar higher and
faster with Him. ‘For though we live in the world, we do
not wage war as the world does.’ The weapons He gives
‘have divine power to demolish strongholds’; we don’t
need the ‘weapons of the world’ (2 Corinthians 10:3-4 NIV)
. But we say ‘No thanks’; we have to shoot back and
defend ourselves with arsenals of angry words, demanding
attitudes, manipulative manoeuvres, excessive excuses,
and bombs of blame. It takes courage to stop using
weapons of the flesh, ‘take up the shield of faith’, and arm
ourselves with the weapons of God (Ephesians 6:16 NIV).
It’s the kind of faith David showed when he [told] Goliath,
‘You come against me with sword and spear…but I come
against you in the name of the Lord’ (1 Samuel 17:45 NIV).
Stop fighting in your own strength and let God’s spiritual
arsenal defend you; ‘He is a shield to those who take
refuge in Him’ (Proverbs 30:5 NIV).
