Irrefutable Evidence

"'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).

Insignificant People

God doesn't make insignificant people.

However, we can make ourselves feel insignificant by not knowing who or what we are.

The only way to God out who (and whose) we are is to read and study God's word. There, you'll find amazing things about yourself like that you're more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37); you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13); no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17); and all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

So, pick up a Bible today and find out what God says about you.

God bless,
J.W.

"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." ~ 2 Timothy 2:15

More Than Conquerors

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ~ Romans 8:37-39

Make no mistake - Satan is real.

The Bible urges us to "be self-controlled and alert" because "your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he might devour" (1 Peter 5:8) It also says, however, that we are MORE than conquerors in Christ.

So, while you stay alert to the devil's schemes, know that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) as long as God is on your side.

God bless,
J.W.
