Judges 2:6-3:4; Isaiah 22:15-23:18; 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

So will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong. Zechariah 8:13

We are saved to be a blessing, to be soldiers in the army of God, opposing the forces of evil. Our command is to “fear not.” Fear paralyzes, but faith empowers. “Let your hands be strong”, uplifted in prayer, wielding the sword of the Spirit. “Fear thou not; for I am with thee” (Isa. 41:10a). —D. Pickup

I may never march in the infantry,
Ride in the cavalry, shoot the artillery;
I may never fly o’er the enemy
But I’m in the Lord’s army. —Author Unknown
