Elisha wanted the Joash King of Israel to shoot the arrows out of the window and he did. He then took the arrows and struck them 3 times on the ground and Elisha was wroth with him, because he should had struck them until he destroyed them. Elisha lets him know that he would beat the enemy only three times but had he beat the arrows until there was nothing left he would have defeated the enemy forever. This is what the christian today must do. We cannot fight the enemy half hearted, no we must engage in warfare until we no longer see any evidence of him being around us. Just as the King had Elisha's hand to help him to guide the arrow when he shot it, we have the guiding of God's word and the Holy Spirit to help us to help us conquer the enemy right in the middle of his strategy against God's people. Make no mistake about it, the battle is the Lord, but we must get in the fight, and fight to win!
