Where do you find your strength?

The nations of the world boast on their military strength. Their military might gives them national confidence and a sure footing among the neighboring nations. Many individuals boast in their weapons, and even how smart they are. But that is limited in nature. There will always be someone mightier and smarter that you. For the believer, their confidence and boast is in the Lord. He is the one who makes us strong. He is the one who miraculously delivers us from the hand of the enemy. He is the one that gives us the victory! I will make my boast in the Lord. I will put my trust in the Lord. Weapons may fail you. Your knowledge may fail you, but God in Christ in never fail you!

Psalm 20:7 (TPT) Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle deliverance can never be won by men. Our boast is in the Lord our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory!

Can you see the light?

Knowledge and wisdom is only good and effective if we use and apply it. King David asked God to give him understanding of his precepts and guiding principles so that he could meditate and focus his thoughts on them. This is important because most people are deceived and think that what they are being taught by TV, their professors, their friends and family is the absolute truth. There is also a strong re-education and brainwashing taking place on a national level where some in high places are forcing us to believe a strong delusion and lie. It is more important than ever that we ask God to “open the eyes” of our understanding so that we can truly walk in the “light” of God’s wisdom and understanding. Have you been taking what you know and what you are being taught as “truth”? Or are you observing the strong winds of change with open eyes? I counsel you to ask God to give you understanding of His guiding principles so that you can truly walk in the “light” of His knowledge and help others to “see the light”.

Psalm 119: 27 (AMP) “Make me understand the way of Your precepts (guiding principles), So that I will meditate (focus my thoughts) on Your wonderful works”.
