Aim: To understand that the battle of life is won for us by the Lord through the work of Christ.
Exegesis: The heavenly battle plan always includes the assurance of our victory. We are strengthened (v. 1a), employed (v. 1b), and instructed (v. 2) by God. The heavenly battle plan always includes the strategy for our victory. We win through a united (v. 3a), coordinated (vv. 3b-7), and obedient (v. 8) effort. The heavenly battle plan always includes the reason for our victory. The church needs the shepherd's guidance (v. 9a) and presence (v. 9b).
