Psalm 37:15


Copyright  2015 J. Neely
Psalm 37:15

15 Their sword [chereb] shall enter [bow'] into their own heart [leb], and their bows [qesheth] shall be broken [shabar].   KJV-Interlinear

15 their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.    ESV

The sword represents the action of the individual.  And here the actions of the wicked, will fail.  And not only fail, but their efforts will fall upon themselves, and not their intended victims.  Remember that the wicked, includes everyone who does not comply with Gods mandates or will.

This includes all unbelievers due to their rejection of Jesus Christ.

This includes all believers who live outside of the spiritual realm, namely out of fellowship.

The bow, represents the plan and will of the individual. 

The bow is an offensive or proactive weapon.  The individual who carries the bow, intends to use it and takes it with them, for a specific purpose.

And as the context of this passage is wickedness, then the bow is not merely there for defense or just in case, it is carried because of a thought out plan or intent.

Nevertheless, the plan, as are all plans of man, will be broken, destroyed, failed miserably.

God is truth.

Any deviation from God is not truth, and therefore a lie.

Truth is orientation to reality.

Lies are disorientation to reality.

Rejection of God, Christ, and doctrine are the ultimate disorientation in life.
