A Mighty Warrior Is Our God

The Lord your God in your midst, the mighty warrior, he is happy to save, concerning you he is glad to, stilling you with His love, joyfully before you with a warrior's cry.*

The Lord is a refugee in times of trouble, "whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."* He is our salvation in whom we put our trust and have confidence. The scriptures tell us He is a refuge for His people, "my soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us"* Surely, for me to say it is well with my soul is to know He is a refuge. He is more than just a refugee, he will go before you like a mighty warrior to fight your battles.

Our Lord is happy to save us, when we cry out for His help, he is glad to go before us, a mighty warrior is our God. "But Yahweh is with me a mighty warrior, an awesome one over me, thus the one pursuing me will stumble and not prevail..."* If God is for us, Paul writes, who can be against us? "Who is the King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle."* "The LORD is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!"* Who can separate us from the love of God? "The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."* Our God is for us not against us, his favor is upon his children, he delights, is happy to save. Picture Him going before you when the adversary pursues, when cancer pursues, when disease pursues, when an addiction pursues... call upon him and "the LORD will go forth like a warrior; He will stir up His zeal like a soldier. He will shout; yes, He will roar. He will prevail against His enemies."* Yes, a mighty warrior is our God.

One Grace

" moreover,  One, to each of us has been given Grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ ." 1 Grace is a founding principle of Christianity. It is by Grace we grow into the fullness of Christ through faith; " to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. " 2  Without Grace we will never reach this fullness. The weakness in the Law was it attempted to do it in the flesh, and people failed over and over, so God in His infinite wisdom, unveiled this mystery, through faith in Christ we have grace to boldly approach His throne of Grace, to receive grace and mercy as needed! This gift of Grace is properly understood by examining this verse in three parts;  moreover,  One Grace, to each of us has been given, according to the measure of the gift of Christ . First, we understand,  One   grace, it is easy to miss the  One,  and this verse is translated in different ways, I believe it says One Grace and is meant to be concatenated to

"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life.

"You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot

Those He Calls He Equips

Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen . Hebrews 13:20-21 When God calls us he equips us, the God of Peace, the one who brought us from the dead by the blood of the Eternal Covenant, will equip you so to do his will. So in this concept of being equipped, we see the calling being irrevocable. "For it is God who works in you to Will and to act on behalf of his good pleasure." Philippians 2:13 God called you, he's working in you equipping you to work on behalf of his good pleasure. "So that the man of God may be complete fully equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:17 . In Hebrews 12 we read God disciplines those he loves, so that we share in his holy character, as the scriptures
