Our Defender

Isaiah 54:17 But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.

For some, it doesn't take much to get offended, does it? When we're talking to someone and suddenly it seems they're attacking us, walls go up and we get defensive. Right? Everybody does it. It's a natural response to any attack.

That kind of response really seems harmless and even justifiable. After all, if we don't defend ourselves, who will? But when we get defensive, we're more destructive than the person who attacks us.

If someone verbally attacks me and I try to defend myself, how can I possibly be the one causing harm? What about the other person?

We’re responsible for how we respond. Our words and actions should come from the Word of God. Do it God’s way.
