Trained for Battle

Psalm 144:1

Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

When you are going to take part in a gymnastic or chess championship, you will have to train yourself through a lot of training. During the championship, you keep fighting on till the last minute.

This Psalmist says that God trains his hands for war and his fingers for battle. Your war and battle are the disappointment you face, the tears you shed, the problems that you face, or your worries over your exams. However, fret not! God trains you to win over your battle and war!

The Words of God will be your perfect weapon to win. You will get stronger and braver time after time. One more thing, verse 2 writes that not only does God provide us a weapon, God Himself also goes with you in the battle and He takes it upon Himself to defend you.

Are you feeling tired or in the middle of a battle now? Receive His strength, utilize His perfect weapon, and keep fighting on! 

Prayer

Dear God, I may be in the midst of battle now. I might be tired and scared but I know You give me strength and I will keep fighting till I become victorious! Amen.
