The Lord brings deliverance without the need for human power or the best military equipment (see Psalm 20:7; Psalm 33:16–19; Psalm 147:10–11; 2 Corinthians 12:7–10). Weapons are not as significant as having the help of the true God.1 He is strong enough by himself, able to use human weakness to accomplish his ends.2 He is sovereign over all battles and their outcome.3
47 and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.”
