Word Warfare

King David, son of Jesse, son of God, and "Israel's singer of songs" (2 Samuel 23:1), used his hands and fingers in more than one kind of warfare. Both writer and warrior, David could pen such words as, "you [God] created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb" (Psalm 139:13). Yet he was praised as a man who had slain "his tens of thousands" (1 Samuel 18:7)--starting with a lion, a bear, and then a mouthy giant of a man who stood over 9 feet tall. Some of us couldn't hold our own in any kind of physical battle. None of us can stand against a WMD. Yet God may fit us in word warfare. We can speak or write to the truth of the Holy Scriptures, and the unchanging character of "Jesus Christ...the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). Posted 5-18-10
