“The Lord mighty in battle.” 
              — Psalms 24:8

Well may our God be glorious in the eyes of his people, seeing that he
has wrought such wonders for them, in them, and by them. For them, the
Lord Jesus upon Calvary routed every foe, breaking all the weapons of
the enemy in pieces by his finished work of satisfactory obedience; by
his triumphant resurrection and ascension he completely overturned the
hopes of hell, leading captivity captive, making a show of our enemies
openly, triumphing over them by his cross. Every arrow of guilt which
Satan might have shot at us is broken, for who can lay anything to the
charge of God’s elect? Vain are the sharp swords of infernal malice,
and the perpetual battles of the serpent’s seed, for in the midst of
the church the lame take the prey, and the feeblest warriors are
crowned.

The saved may well adore their Lord for his conquests in them, since
the arrows of their natural hatred are snapped, and the weapons of
their rebellion broken. What victories has grace won in our evil
hearts! How glorious is Jesus when the will is subdued, and sin
dethroned! As for our remaining corruptions, they shall sustain an
equally sure defeat, and every temptation, and doubt, and fear, shall
be utterly destroyed. In the Salem of our peaceful hearts, the name of
Jesus is great beyond compare: he has won our love, and he shall wear
it. Even thus securely may we look for victories by us. We are more
than conquerors through him that loved us. We shall cast down the
powers of darkness which are in the world, by our faith, and zeal, and
holiness; we shall win sinners to Jesus, we shall overturn false
systems, we shall convert nations, for God is with us, and none shall
stand before us. This evening let the Christian warrior chant the war
song, and prepare for to-morrow’s fight. Greater is he that is in us
than he that is in the world.

On this day...
