No Weapon Shall Prosper

        Well, let’s see. Warfare is common to natural life and this holds true for our spiritual life in Christ. The Christian has to engage in battle after battle to remain strong in the faith of Jesus Christ. We quote the verse from Isaiah 54:17, which states that no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 (KJV)

However, many are facing circumstances and situations that seem to be prospering in their lives. Today, I want to encourage Christians everywhere to continue to stand on this exhortation of scripture. Nothing that you are facing will prosper; that is, accomplish what it set out to do.

The enemy seeks to bring us from the presence of Christ. If what you are going through has not caused you to leave the faith… it did not prosper. Do not get caught up in the battle that you lose sight of the victory that will come. Remember in Isaiah 55, the prophet states that God’s word will prosper. If you remember to focus on the word will prosper rather than on the weapon (that is designed to fail), you will find your victories more frequent and battles short lived. Be blessed knowing that no weapon shall prosper.

Prayer of the Day:

“Lord, help me to trust that victory will ultimately be mine. I thank you that this is my heritage. Amen.”
