CHOOSING LESSER STRENGTH
Thursday, May 21, 2020
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 chaos, assault, implosion, every
individual or nation has before them the option to trust God or their 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 the exemplary
example; and garnering prudence from other saints following the Word with mature
knowledge and experience. EBB4
PS: As a strengthening
exercise I’ve in the past week reviewed and made a few grammar changes in my 12
page ANGER file. If interested in a copy, just ask and I will provide it.
