God promises strength to defeat evil
In these verses, one from the Old Testament and one from the New, we see that God’s strength helps us when we are facing a spiritual battle. ‘Heights’, ‘strongholds’, and ‘lofty opinions’ refer to idol worship, mindsets and worldviews that are in opposition to God. God has promised that, with his strength, we can defeat these.
