v.21 1. Natural strength alone is not adequate protection for a man.
While one’s strength exceeds another, there will only appear to be peace.
(When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:)
v.22 2. When one stronger comes along peace is stolen away.
(But when a stronger that he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he
taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.)
v.22 3. That which man puts his trust in is taken away.
v.22 4. Man can have many enemies stronger than himself, lust, passion, pride,
greed, addiction, …)
They take away his spoils.

Pray for strength in resisting temptation. 1 Corin. 10: 13
6. It is God’s strength that secures peace.
Acknowledge your weakness (identify if you know)- yield to God’s greater
strength. 2 Corin.12:9
Seek God and His strength. 1 Chronicles 16: 11

Don’t rely upon any other strength. Psalms 33: 16-21 Psalms 71: 16
Psalms 119: 28; 27: 14, 31:24 Nehemiah 6: 9
