No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me, declares the Lord.
Our confidence rests upon the sure promises of our all-powerful God Who reminds us throughout His Word, that He is the Almighty, Sovereign Ruler of the universe, and has given us His assurance that no weapon, whether physical or spiritual, will prosper against His children. The Lord delights to bless His children, and the theme of this verse is about God’s never-failing love for His chosen people. He acts like a faithful husband who not only forgives his unfaithful wife, but restores her to a place of blessed fellowship with himself while giving her protection from all that would assail her. His is the power, and the kingdom, and the glory, and no enemy of His Church will prevail against His chosen ones: “Vengeance is Mine and I will repay,” is the Lord’s promise to those that are His children. Whatever insidious devices are constructed and whatever devious schemes are formed against God’s people, they will one day be condemned by our Heavenly Father, and any conspiracies against us will utterly fail; their plans will fail and the instruments of their warfare will not prosper. The Lord formed us in our mother’s womb and scheduled each day of our lives. He knows every step we take. And no matter what difficulties we encounter, or what the enemy of our soul schemes against us, the Lord knows the way of His righteous ones; and He works in every circumstance of life for our eternal good and His greater glory. Let us depend on the Word of truth for His protection from all dangers, knowing that the angel of His presence encamps around all who are His. Let us rest on the assurances of His presence in every one of life’s difficulties, knowing that no weapon formed against us will prosper, and every tongue that accuses us in judgement will be condemned. The promise God gave to His chosen people of Israel is as sure for the promises He has made to the Christian Church: “‘No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”
