Great verses today about how to deal with adversary in the Christian walk, "But the godless are like thorns to be thrown away, for they tear the hand that touches them. One must use iron tools to chop them down; they will be totally consumed by fire."
We can get far too complacent about dealing with un-Godly things, whether curses, uncleanliness, bad habits or opposition. We can think that we can handle it because we believe. These verses remind us that we tear our hands if we engage directly with these and the way we need to deal with them is with tools of iron, prayer! Iron represents strength and the only strong tools I can think of to deal with opposition is prayer. We know how easily iron tools cut through thorns and we should have the same faith when we pray that our prayers tear through opposition in the same way.
