Confidence In My Sword….

Regardless of what people say about man’s problems in society, it’s his right relationship with God that gives him victory. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Men don’t win wars, God does that for them. When a man puts confidence in his weapons, or technology, or experience, or intellect, he will eventually find himself questioning the outcome. God is sovereign, He’s in control, not us. It’s not until we realize and acknowledge this simple truth, that it becomes easier to live life, not trying to find our own path. We still question the “why” and the “how did this happen”, but we do it from an understanding of Who it is that’s in charge. This changes everything, and makes accepting the workings of our lives easier to deal with. Being right with God, accepting His lordship over your life, and believing He has our “best” at heart, are what make living the Christian life worthy. Put your confidence in God’s abilities, and you’ll see your interest in your own abilities become less important to your emotional state.

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. Psalms 44:6-8a
