Psa 144:1, …Blessed be the LORD my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle
David was a man of war whose strength came from the LORD. He battled many armies and fought a giant with success, but David lost the battle with the tempter himself! Know it or not, but we are in a battle with an unseen enemy!
2Sa 11:2, Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. AND FROM THE ROOF HE SAW A WOMAN BATHING, AND THE WOMAN WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL TO BEHOLD.
HIS word trains us for the spiritual battle we have daily! Remember even wise Job wasn’t immune to the lust of the eyes!
Job 31:1, “I HAVE MADE A COVENANT WITH MY EYES; WHY THEN SHOULD I LOOK UPON A YOUNG WOMAN?
1Pe 5:8, BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR.
Psa 144:3, LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?
Job 7:17, “What is man, that You should exalt him, THAT YOU SHOULD SET YOUR HEART ON HIM,
It’s not about who we are, but about who HE is! HE is a GOD of love who made man in HIS image and set HIS heart on him!
Rom 5:8, But God demonstrates His own love toward us, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.
Psa 144:4, Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow.
While HE is eternal without beginning or end, we are but a breath, here one day and gone the next!
Jas 4:14, whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed to anyone and it’s our choice how we live our lives! This world offers very little, but HE offers eternity with HIM! Choose wisely for we have more time behind us than before us!
Joh 5:24, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
