Psalms 144: 1-2
Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to
war, and my fingers to fight. My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my
deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
God greatly does all of our fighting for us. He also does a
good job of it, but he also encourages us to fight for what we believe in and
what’s right. He trains our hands for war and our fingers for battle. Anything
we come up against he equips with a strong mind and body. He made us not to be
weak but to be strong and be ready for battle. All the praise goes to him for
being our rock and preparing us to get ready for battle against any situation
and circumstance. Jesus has done this so that we may win the battle and war
against the Devil himself.
In verse 2 of chapter 144 of Psalms he is also a high tower
and our deliverer. God is there two save us from our enemies. He saves us from
diseases. Plus he is a high tower in time of storm. So that should make us want
to trust him even more. He has the power to say to mountains be though removed
and he will remove them from our lives, only if we trust him. He will even have
the people that want to harm us, be cast away and moved from your life. In
doing so, and basically we give him the glory and praise back to him.
Most of you guys
know that I have a strong desire to go into the United States Navy. I failed my
Asvab (Navy test) three times this year and in March of 2014 I can retake it.
The first three times I failed, it made me want to give up and give in to this
temporary storm, thinking that I shouldn’t take it again and try something else
but this is what I really want to do. Through all of this, what Jesus is doing
now is just simply training my hands and my fingers for battle. This is just
preparation.
In preparation until I
go in and when I am in the Navy (and after I pass my Asvab aka Navy test) Jesus
will lead me, guide me, and direct my footsteps. I know that any battle that I
will face Jesus himself will keep me “Jesus strong” (Just like the hoodie lol).
All the training and preparing will pay off in boot camp and have me on way to
my destiny. Working towards this destiny in the Navy, Jesus will keep me
mentally and physically strong for whatever comes my way. He will be my high
tower in time of storm, my deliverer from diseases including pain and sickness,
and my shield from weapons and disaster that may try to bring me down. If I
only trust him, then everything will work out for my good.
