Proverbs - Scaling the City

Proverbs 21:22

A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty,
and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.


To be the wise women that the Lord wants us to be we must never approach any walled cities in our lives or relationships in haste.  We must scale the city.  This means going around the problem seeking the Lord to show us where we might attack the problems and find the strength of the confidence thereof.  We must not go with our first instinct in warfare but approach our Commander and Chief – Jesus Christ for a total run down on what we are facing and what approach He deems the most penetrating.  Sometimes it may take fasting or seeking counsel in order to pull down strongholds.  Usually something we may feel bound by has some sort of false confidence within it.  We need the Holy Spirit to illuminate this and show us how to take the sword of truth to the false confidence found there.  We must wage a good warfare in the Spirit and know that our God is mighty in battle.  Let us be women who surround a situation in prayer daily, if not more, that needs to be conquered.  As we scale these ‘cities’ we will see the King of Kings conquer and His will done on earth as it is in heaven.
