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).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
