YHWH boasts: “My arrows are sharpened… I will heap calamities [evil] on them, spend My arrows on them” (Deut 32:23; Isa 5:28). Paul, speaking for Christ’s Father, says: “Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one” (Eph 6:16). YHWH is the one shooting the fiery arrows. The true Father arms us to put them out.

Let the love of the crucified and risen Christ be the only power that drives every thought and deed. 🙏🏻🧡 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. (Apostolicon, cf. 2 Cor 5:14–15)
