“My defence is of God, Which saveth the upright in heart.” Psalm‬ ‭7:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬. In this increasingly unstable world, many people are concerned about how to properly defend themselves. Some are trying to do it on a physical level with weapons and home security. Others are trying medically to defend against sickness and disease. And some are futilely trying to defend themselves against people’s words and accusations. But the most important defense we need is to defend our souls. Because nothing is so precious as the soul. And for that, there is no other hope except God Himself. We each face real spiritual enemies that daily war against our souls. The Bible tells us that the world, the flesh and the devil continually oppose us on a spiritual level. And on our own, we are hopelessly outmatched. This is what many believers do not understand. They imagine they can defend themselves like they do in other areas of their lives. So we must humble ourselves and confess, “I am not sufficient for this battle”. But then, when we acknowledge our need, what a comfort it is to know that our Heavenly Father is also our Protector and Defender! And when He is with us, no weapon formed against us will prosper! What a blessing to know that the Almighty God is our defense.
