Blessed be the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle - Psalm 144:1.
God uses hard times in our life to train and discipline us as we are His children. Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children - Hebrews 12:7. He helps us when training our hands for war, and our fingers for battle. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great - Psalm 18:34, 35.
We are disciplined by God for our good as discipline produces a harvest of righteousness and peace. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it - Hebrews 12:10,11.
Let us thank God who helps us and gives us His grace when training our hands for war and fingers for battle. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age - Titus 2:11-12. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places - Ephesians 6:12.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for training us and disciplining us for our good. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
