Psalms 118:11-12. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. They compassed me about like bees, they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
The thorn makes a good blaze and crackle, and sputter, but it is soon out altogether. "For in the name of the Lord will I destroy them." In this way we may meet our spiritual foes, temptations, trials, the world, sin, death, hell, the name of Jehovah shall be our strength. "In hoc signo vincit," said one of old - "By this sign thou conquerest," and so by this sign we also overcome through the blood of the Lamb.
