“Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.” Psalm 144:1 (KJV)

Did you know that the Hebrew word for rock is strength? God is our rock, and our strength comes from Him alone. The Psalmist David was happy and blessed because he acknowledged where his strength came from. Not only do we need strength, but we need skill to fight against Satan. Strength without skill is really weakness. We need knowledge; God says we perish because of a lack of knowledge. We need wisdom and discernment to apply the knowledge that God gives us in His Word. He also tells us to ask for it.

There are many battles that we face, but remember the battle is God’s. There are some things that God has given us and expects of us. We can’t just stay complacent and expect the battle to be won without skill, wisdom, and knowledge. We must put on the whole armor of God and be ready for the battle. He equips us and teaches us how to use it. We must remember to use the skills God has given us so we can stay strong and victorious. Who is fighting your battle?

“Lord, thank You for fighting my battles. Thank You for the skills, knowledge, and wisdom You have given me. Thank You for Your armor. Thank You that You teach my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.”
For His Glory
