The Twenty-Fourth Psalm: The Lord Mighty in Battle!
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Psalm 24:8
Recommended Reading: 1 Samuel 17:45-47
Life is a warzone, and it’s full of battles. What battles are you facing right now? A conflict with another person? A legal challenge? A financial worry? A loved one who is breaking your heart? Why not lean on some of the Bible’s military language. Exodus 14:14 says, “The Lord will fight for you.” Nehemiah 4:20 says, “Our God will fight for us.” When young David faced Goliath, he said, “For the battle is the Lord’s” (1 Samuel 17:47).
The apostle Paul said, “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57). The apostle John added, “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith” (1 John 5:4).
Don’t feel helpless and hopeless. You have a Savior who will fight for you, who will oversee the battle, and who will gain the victory. Trust Him as the King of glory, the Lord strong and mighty, for we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.
You are not fighting for victory—you are fighting from victory. The battle has already been won!
