"'no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,' declares the Lord." ~ Isaiah 54:17 NIV
Reading this scripture reminds me of a courtroom. It uses words like prevail, refute, accuse, and vindication. God seems to be saying that He will defend us the way a lawyer might do in court.
So, what's the best way to prove a case in court?
Well, typically, it's to show irrefutable evidence to support your claim or defense. The other side can accuse you of all the things in the world but if you have irrefutable evidence, case closed.
When we are God's child, we don't have to argue our case. Our case argues for us. Through the cross, God has presented irrefutable evidence of His love for us, irrefutable evidence of His power over sin, and irrefutable evidence that we no longer have to suffer the fate that was once ours.
It's not up to us to refute accusations. God said we are vindicated through Him. We just have to keep living our lives and God will fight our battles (2 Chronicles 20:15).
God bless,
J.W.
