CHOOSING LESSER STRENGTH
Wednesday, June 15, 2016
Psalm [GW] 20:7-8 Some rely on chariots and others on horses, but we will boast in the
name of the LORD our God. They will sink to their knees and fall, but we will
rise and stand firm.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own
understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths
smooth.
In ordinary daily
life or times of calamity, including implosion, every individual or nation has
before them to trust God or own strength.
The difference
for Christian is if relying on own strength we as His John 1:12 child are worse
off than non-believer relying on own strength; for isolationist pride doesn’t
just leave us vulnerable to further stress, it engages God’s resistance and
worsens our situation. (Jam.4:5-6)
Said trust is not
simply emotional. It includes recognizing and accepting all warfare is
ultimately spiritual and for our mind: Requiring prayerfully laboring at
seeking applicable wisdom from His Word, the Bible; Jesus as exemplary example;
and garnering prudence from other saints with mature knowledge and experience.
