"Choosing military objectives and the appropriate means to pursue those objectives requires the consideration of two closely related concepts: the center of gravity and the critical vulnerability. A center of gravity is a key source of the enemy's strength, In contrast, a critical vulnerability is a key potential source of weakness." -- MCDP 1-1: Strategy
Psalm 144:1-2
Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who trains my hands for war,
and my fingers for battle;
he is my steadfast love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield and he in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.
When you want to impose your will upon someone else, you must assess their greatest strength and weakness. What is the thing most likely to prevent you from imposing your will upon them and what is the easiest on ramp to apply pressure that will be felt.
Conversely, your enemies are doing this same assessment when they think of you. What is your center of gravity? What is your critical vulnerability? Where are you strong? Where are you weak?
Psalm 18:2
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.
Psalm 3:1-4
O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
many are saying of my soul,
“There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah
But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah
