Battle Ready: Trained for war

Psalm 144:1 | Praise the Lord, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle.

• Who trains us for spiritual battle? 

• How is this training done? 

• The writer of this Psalm is David. How did David approach battle as a young boy facing Goliath? 

• Why wasn’t David afraid? 

• What can you learn from David’s source of confidence and strength? 

• As David got older and became King, he continued to oversee many battles. How did God continue to shape and strengthen him as a warrior? 

• What does this type of training look like on a spiritual level?

• What are you doing so that the Lord can prepare and train you for battle? Or what can you start doing so that you truly are ‘battle ready?’
