No Weapon
“17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD.” Isaiah 54:17
Sometimes, as you go about your day, events occur and do not always go as you plan. A flight is delayed, traffic is backed up, or you are just having a bad hair day. Too often, we give credit to the enemy’s weapon or scheme as gaining an upper hand on us when he attacks. Yes, he may be behind whatever is coming at you, but in the end, he cannot fashion anything against you that can succeed. He will never have the upper hand on you unless you let him.
Christ has equipped you and has transformed you into being a joint heir of Yahweh. Christ reminds us in John 14 that we will be able to do greater things than He. Yes, the enemy will attack as he comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But in Christ, He gives us life and life more abundantly.
So, as you start your day, even when attacks come, do you feel defeated? Or do you recognize that through Christ, we already have the victory. It is a simple choice! As your bad hair day comes, are you going to allow the attack to succeed, or are you going to stand and crush his weapon.
