“The king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
and by its great might it cannot rescue.”
Psalm 33:16, 17
There is a tendency at times to try to go through life on our own. We try to show God we
got everything under control. We think He is impressed with our show of power, intelligence
and wit so we “power through” life when we should be looking to Him for strength.
You carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and think it’s cool but it’s not.
In the world, showing how strong, independent, powerful you are is celebrated. We see this
in terms like “self made man or woman” But it’s not so in God’s kingdom.
He wants you to trust Him. He wants you to give up control and let Him take the steering wheel.
Surrender to Him in faith. Let Him do the heavy lifting.
I was working on a project recently and was getting frustrated and overwhelmed. As I stopped
to see what was going on I realized I was going at it in my strength. I never asked God for help.
I repented and asked Him to help me. I stopped trying to figure things out on my own and started
praying more and seeking His guidance.
He wants us to rely on His strength, not our strength.
Turn to Him for help always.
“He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the Lord’s delight is in those
who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.”
Psalm 147:10, 11
Bless you friends
