The people of God are to be “armed for battle” (2 Chronicles 17:18).
The battle is spiritual. It can only be won through the power of the
risen Christ. His purpose is the destruction of “the last enemy ...
death” (1 Corinthians 15:26).
This has been accomplished, in principle, through Christ’s
resurrection. The full reality of His victory will be seen at His
return. With such a strong and victorious Lord on our side, we are
encouraged to pray to the Lord, fully expecting to receive help from
Him - “Hear my prayer, O Lord, let my cry for help come to You ... “ (Psalm 102:1-2).
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
