Our True Strength

In view of the election results (two new GOP governors, two more Democrat Congressmen in NY and CA), I am reminded of Ecclesiastes 9:11, "the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill, but time and chance happen to them all."

This is a war, and it will not be a swift one. We'll win some battles and lose others, but we must never lose sight of what we are fighting for.

When God called Gideon to deliver the children of Israel from the Midianites who had enslaved them, He told him, "The people that are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel become conceited and say, 'I have saved myself'." God instructed Gideon to whittle down his army until only 300 men remained against the entire army of Midian. In that way God could give them the victory and they would still remember Who was their true strength. (Judges 7)

The war against the evil men and women bent on destroying everything good about our nation, especially their "jihad" against our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His people, often seems to be a war we can't win.

But Jesus said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)

Throughout our nation's history there have been many instances of Americans overcoming seemingly impossible odds, and through the hand of God they prevailed. I'm going to find specific examples of the Providence of God to inspire us during these dark days and share them with you. Stay tuned!
