Dad's Ramblings -- The Battle Is The Lord's

" 'This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand....Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD's, and He will give you into our hands.' "
 
                                                                              I Samuel 17:46a-47
 
God allows challenges to come into my life so that He can show Himself strong. It is in those times that I must realize that "the battle is the Lord's." He uses my meager resources, but they alone are not enough to be victorious, so in the end He gets the glory. "God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things that are mighty...that no flesh should glory in His presence....He who glories, let him glory in the Lord" (I Corinthians 1:27-31). I confess, I need Jesus.
 
Today's Thought: Challenges come so that God can show His strength.
 
Have a victorious day. Love you.
