"She reached out her hand for the tent peg, And her right hand for the workmen's hammer. Then she struck Sisera, she smashed his head; And she shattered and pierced his temple. (Judges 5:46)
Like Jael brought Sisera into her tent we invite Sin in to be our master. Sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you..." (Genesis 4:7) And like Sisera, Sin says to us "Stand in the doorway of the tent, and it shall be if anyone comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there anyone here?' that you shall say, 'No." and Sin says to us "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty". Instead of giving Sin what it desires we should put it to bed with the pure milk of the Word and instead of protecting it we should be like Jael and nail it to the Cross by the hammer of the Holy Spirit because "You must master it"(Genesis 4:7) The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."(1 Corinthians 15:56-57)"For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace."(Romans 6:14) We are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ! "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(Romans 8:38-39)
