You give us victory…
Psalms 44:
4 You are my King and my God.
You command victories for Israel.[b]
5 Only by your power can we push back our enemies;
only in your name can we trample our foes.
6 I do not trust in my bow;
I do not count on my sword to save me.
7 You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies;
you disgrace those who hate us.
8 O God, we give glory to you all day long
and constantly praise your name.
Make this verse personal.
You are my King and God, You command victories for me, it is only by Your power, that I win and my enemies lose. It is not by my power, not by anything that I do, it is by the power of God and only by the power of God’s name. I trust God to take care of me, I trust God to give me victory!
I don’t trust…
my bow
my long range weapon which allows me to attack while the enemy is relatively far away and not much danger to me. This is a very effective weapon but does not compare at all to the long range effectiveness of God. When the trouble and attack is on the horizon God is aware of the future much more than I am. He put me together, he mapped out all the days of my life, took the time to write down every bit of my life, how wonderful are his thoughts of me. If I trust Him then the long range life stuff is taken care of, He gives me the victory!
I don’t trust…
my sword
my weapon that I use when the enemy is close, a very effective weapon for close quarter fighting. It allows me to not only attack but also ward off the attacks of the enemy. When trouble is close and present His presence, His power, His peace is so much more than anything I can achieve with my sword. no matter where I go, God is there! If I go to the highest mountain, God is there! If I go to the lowest valley, God is there! He is with me, in the present!
God I honor you!
God I praise you!
God you give me victory…
