Conflict

“We are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”
— Rom. 8:37

“Moses, Aaron and Hur go up to the top of the hill, and Israel under Joshua fights in the plain below with Amalek … Israel might have reasoned on the manner of their fighting, on the strength of the enemy, and on ten thousand things; but, after all, their success depended on Moses' hands being stretched out. It is very hard for us to see ourselves and Satan to be as nothing and God to be everything.”

“I daresay many of us have thought … that one good battle with Satan and all will be over; but no such thing, we have security and the certainty of victory, but no promise of cessation from conflict.”
