Readers of the Odyssey will recall Ulysses’ bow, which none but himself could bend. (Hom. Od.<\/em> xxi. 409).<\/p>\n Observe how David recognises that the advantages of physical strength and energy, important qualifications in times when the king was himself the leader of his people in battle, were gifts of God; yet that it was not these that saved him and made him victorious, but Jehovah’s care and help ( 2Sa 22:36<\/em><\/span> ff.).<\/p>\n 2Sa 22:35-43<\/span><\/p>\n He maketh my hands to war.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Faith winning victories<\/strong><\/p>\n Dr. Campbell Morgan told me at Northfield of an instance of the kind. A poor man came to him after a service on Round Top, where the body of Mr. Moody lies, and said, Do you believe that when you are tempted, and say, Get thee behind me, Satan, the victory is won? Dr. Morgan, after a moment said, No, I do not. Then, said his interlocutor, you stop preaching Christ and deliverance from sin: for I have a temptation. I dont want to live with it; I dont want <\/em>to <\/em>be defeated; I would do the best I knew if I had the power, but I have not. If I cant say, Get thee behind me, and be sure of victory, what am I to do? Dr. Morgan said, Do you believe that Christ said it, and won? Yes, I believe He is the only One who could ever say it, and win. Then you go, and in the name of Christ say, Get thee behind me, Satan, when your hour of torture comes, and see which gets the victory. The next morning, says Dr. Morgan, as I drove up I met this man standing in the middle of the pathway in front of me. He looked at me with radiant face, standing square on his two feet, and said, Man, it works! He had found the Christ a present Deliverer as well as an abstract Saviour.<\/p>\n He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.<\/strong> [See comments on Ps 18:34]<\/span>.<\/p>\n teacheth: Psa 18:33, Psa 18:34, Psa 144:1 <\/p>\n to war: Heb. for the war <\/p>\n a bow: Psa 46:9, Eze 39:3, Eze 39:9, Eze 39:10 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Job 20:24 – the bow<\/p>\n He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 35. so that a bow of steel, &c.] And mine arms bend a bow of bronze.
