With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah (2 Chr. 32:8 KJV)

Ruler Hezekiah talked the words above when Sennacherib the King of Assyria assaulted Judah. The armed force of Judah was no counterpart for the attacking Assyrian armed force. However, Hezekiah said "with him (Assyrian ruler) is an arm of substance; but with us is the LORD our God." The youthful David said a similar thing utilizing different words to the Goliath, the monster:

"At that point said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a lance, and with a shield: but I come to thee for the sake of the LORD of hosts..(1 Sam. 17:45 KJV)

The arm of the substance alludes to characteristic quality, control, may, and strategies. The Assyrian armed force was relentless normally but was no counterpart for divine capacity behind Hezekiah(spirit). Goliath couldn't be moved toward normally utilizing common weapons of war, but he disintegrated before the substance of a shepherd kid with a sling in his grasp in light of the fact that the tissue is no counterpart for the Spirit.

The world capacities by the tissue, and get the level of results that the substance can get. Our preference in life is the Spirit. The issue is that a significant number of us don't confide in the arm of the Spirit but the arm of the tissue. Numerous still endeavor to do things the way the world does. The LORD does not need you to TRUST in the tissue but rather Him.

What is the difference between living in the fragile living creature and trusting( or strolling) in the tissue? ( 2 Cor. 10:3). Indication: living in the tissue here means living in the body on the earth( every one of us do!).

Numerous devotees don't confide in what they have from God though our mystery is the Spirit. Trust in the weapons of our fighting you have in light of the fact that they are ground-breaking and will create comes about past that of the substance.

Interesting writeup. We want to do our best to avoid lust as it is very harmful to our worship. What we should cultivate is love.

That was where I read early today in the Bible
If only we look unto God, HE will send forth his angels to destroy what/who wants to destroy us
