June 11 Evening Devotional | Our Glorious, Mighty Warrior! | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Evening, June 11 | “There He broke the flaming arrows, The shield and the sword and the weapons of war.” —Psalm 76:3 (NASB)

This Evening's Scripture Reading: Psalm 76:1-9 (NASB)

God is known in Judah;
His name is great in Israel.
His tabernacle is in Salem;
His dwelling place also is in Zion.
There He broke the flaming arrows,
The shield and the sword and the weapons of war. Selah.
You are resplendent,
More majestic than the mountains of prey.
The stouthearted were plundered,
They sank into sleep;
And none of the warriors could use his hands.
At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
You, even You, are to be feared;
And who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry?
You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
The earth feared and was still
When God arose to judgment,
To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.

Devotional Video Transcript:

Our Redeemer’s glorious cry of “It is finished,” was the death knell of all the adversaries of his people, the breaking of “the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle.” Behold the hero of Golgotha using his cross as an anvil, and his woes as a hammer, dashing to shivers bundle after bundle of our sins, those poisoned “arrows of the bow;” trampling on every indictment, and destroying every accusation. What glorious blows the mighty Breaker gives with a hammer far more ponderous than the fabled weapon of Thor! How the diabolical darts fly to fragments, and the infernal bucklers are broken like potters’ vessels! Behold, he draws from its sheath of hellish workmanship the dread sword of Satanic power! He snaps it across his knee, as a man breaks dry sticks, and casts it into the fire.

Beloved, no sin of a believer can now be an arrow to mortally wound him; no condemnation can now be a sword to kill him. For the punishment of our sin was borne by Christ, a full atonement was made for all our iniquities by our blessed Substitute and Surety. Who now accuses? Who now condemns? Christ has died, yes, rather, has risen again. (Romans 8:34) Jesus has emptied the quivers of hell, quenched every fiery dart, and broken off the head of every arrow of wrath. The ground is strewn with the splinters and relics of the weapons of hell’s warfare, which are only visible to us to remind us of our former danger, and our great deliverance.

Sin has no more dominion over us. Jesus has made an end to it and put it away forever. Our enemy’s destructions have come to a perpetual end. Talk of all the wondrous works of the Lord, all you who make mention of his name, keep not silent, neither by day, nor when the sun goes down. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
