Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle – Psalm 144:1
The biblical story of the man called Job lets us know that we don’t have to go looking for war before a war comes our way. The reality of the spiritual world is that the enemy of your soul is always looking for a reason and an avenue to war with you. He studies you and looks for any weakness you have! When he attacks, you can either let him push you around and mess with your beliefs, your thoughts, and emotion or you can fight him off. You need to know how to ‘handle’ the enemy. Every scriptural answer you give him is like a jab; every word of truth you use to counter his accusations is like a slap on his face. You need to be armed and ready with the word of truth. In the scripture, hands represent action while feet represent direction. The right action when the enemy attacks is to seek the word of God and to seek the direction of wise godly counsel.
War will come whether I like it or not, so I might as well be prepared
