📖 “Afterward, the prophet came to the king of Israel and said, “Strengthen your position and see what must be done, because next spring the king of Aram will attack you again.” -1 Kings 20:22 NKJV
Ahab, with the help of the Lord, defeated the Syrian Army; and the prophet let him know that he must strengthen himself because the enemy was going to come back again. When we win battles against the enemy, we must always remember that he will try to come back again. We see this in the life of Jesus after Satan tempted him. Luke 4:13 talks about how after the temptations, Satan “departed from Him until an opportune time.” We know that the enemy is coming back again, so we must strengthen and fortify ourselves. How do we do that? One of the ways that we can strengthen ourselves is by studying and meditating upon the Word of God. As we continue to do this, the Word of God can get into our spirits and be used as a weapon against the enemy. We saw Jesus use the Word of God as a weapon against the devil for every temptation that Satan threw his way, and we can have that same victory over the devil. As we strengthen ourselves for the upcoming battles, let us not neglect the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
