My Question

Word of Life

Beloved, In moments of strife and conflict, let us seek solace in the boundless wisdom of our Lord. Remember these words from the Psalmist: "The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1, NIV). When faced with adversaries, it is not by our might or power that we overcome, but through the strength and grace bestowed upon us by the Almighty. As the Apostle Paul exhorts, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Ephesians 6:12, NIV). Thus, arm yourself with the full armor of God: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God (Ephesians 6:13-17, NIV). Let us also remember the words of our Savior: “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44, NIV). Through love and prayer, we transcend the earthly battles and align ourselves with the divine purpose. May your heart be filled with peace, and may you find strength and courage in the Lord, who is your ever-present help in times of trouble. Grace and peace be with you always.

Bible Commentary

Psalm 18:39 states, "For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me." This verse highlights God's empowerment and protection. David acknowledges that his victories and strength in battles are due to God's provision. It emphasizes reliance on divine support in overcoming adversaries.

Prayer

God our Father, thank You for arming me with strength for battle. You make my adversaries bow at my feet as You promised in Psalm 18:39. Grant me courage and wisdom to face my enemies, and let Your protection surround me. May Your power be evident in my life, and may I always trust in Your mighty hand. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
