A strong word to encourage and exhort, a reminder custom-crafted for the perilous times in which we live. Take a look at Zephaniah 3:17.
“The Lord your God is in your midst, A Warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with joy; He will be quiet in His love [making no mention of your past sins], He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
The first part of the verse describes the Lord our God as “A Warrior who saves” and brings to mind a similar picture found in Jeremiah 20-11-12:
This passage was also the inspiration behind this poetic portrayal of God, the Almighty One:
Mighty Warrior
The LORD will march out like a mighty Man
like a warrior He will stir up His zeal;
with a shout He will raise the battle cry and
will triumph over His enemies. Isaiah 42:13 (NIV)
Mighty Warrior leads the charge into victory.
When we face each foe, Adonai begins to laugh.
As the Man of War, He destroys each enemy,
For the Lord of Hosts arises on our behalf.
In the midst of battle, He bears His arm and rides
Upon all the fiery chariots of the wind.
He surrounds with power and protects on all sides,
As the ungodly fall and the righteous ascend.
The Almighty Judge rises to discern each heart.
He shakes the heavens and loosens all strongholds
And then probes the depths of truth in the inner part,
As the panoply of total victory unfolds.
Undefeated Super-conqueror—none, superior:
The Master of Breakthrough is our Mighty Warrior.
