I'm not tryin to start a heated debate about religion! Im just attempting to create somthing positive where we can post our favorite bible verses and discuss how we apply them to everyday life. I am not a biblical scholar, infact i did'nt start looking into this road map on how to live until recently. I grew up with religion being thrown in my face at an early age and i rebelled and spent most of my life being a bad influence on everyone around me. I have since realized that theres just some things you cant ignore. Anyway, they say that since Jesus came and saved all our souls we are not supposed to live by the old testament. I guess cuz things were hardcore way back in the day, but i like the verses about war and god having your back in battle so here i go!
“It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on high places. He teaches my hands to make war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze … I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed. I have wounded them, so that they were not able to rise; they have fallen under my feet. For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.” (Psalm 18:32,37)
“For You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord shall enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop; by my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” (2 Samuel 22:29)
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me,” says the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17)
“Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle – my lovingkindness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and the One in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.” (Psalm 144:1)
