Psalms 144:6
Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
144:6. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them. The artillery of heaven soon puts the enemy to flight: a single bolt sets the armies running hither and thither in utter rout. Shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. It was no common faith which led the poet-king to expect the Lord to use his thunderbolts on behalf of a single member of that race which he had just now described as “like to vanity.” A believer in God may without presumption expect the Almighty Lord to use on his behalf all the stores of his wisdom and power. When we have once mastered the greater difficulty of the Lord’s taking any interest in us, it is but a small thing that we should expect him to exert his great power on our behalf.
