Praise be to the
Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. - Psalm 144:1
David was a man skilled in war. From his days as a shepherd boy to the days of
serving in Saul's army to leading his own army, David learned to be a skillful
warrior. How does one become a skillful warrior?
The only way one can become a skillful warrior is to be trained and placed in
the middle of the battle. It is only when we are placed in the furnace of
battle that we truly learn to fight the real battles. Practice doesn't make you
battle ready. War games won't prepare you for facing your real enemy in the
battlefield. The stark reality of being in the midst of the battle makes us
effective warriors.
Simply reading your Bible will not make you a warrior for the Kingdom.
Knowledge without experience is mere folly. Only when you are placed in
situations where there is nothing or no one who can save you but God will you
learn the lessons of warrior faith. This is the training ground of God, which
will make you into a soldier for Christ in the workplace. Consider it to be
suicidal faith - faith that says I want to be dead to anything that keeps me
from fulfilling God's purposes for my life. It is when your efforts can do
nothing to change your circumstance and you are at the mercy of God. These are
the real training grounds of God. Do not shrink back from the battle that God
may be leading you to today. It may be a training ground that is necessary for
the calling He has on your life.
If you can trust Him in these times, you'll know that you have gained a faith
that will move mountains and will sustain you in the most difficult of circumstances.
"Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my
hands for war, my fingers for battle."
"From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it."
Matthew 11:12
