PSALM 108:13
"With God's help we will do mighty things, for He will trample down our foes."
Have you ever noticed how many times the winner of a contest gives all the glory to God? This thanks is offered up by individuals and teams. Think of how many participants offer up a prayer to God and ask for His help. By no means does this apply to everyone. How often the winners seem to involve God is not easy to count or determine, but, it would appear the frequency is high. The real issue is not whether you will win or lose with or without God's help, the real issue is do you put God first in everything? The first commandment of God is placed there because of its importance.
In our present day vernacular we say, "keep the first thing first". Translation of this comment would be that we should go to God before we do anything and always keep Him first in everything that we do. As believer's we can do many and mighty things but a precondition would be that we pray for God's help. Do you really believe that you can do mighty things on your own? With God's help we can do might things. Before we engage in battle or a contest or anything of consequence, we should seek the help of the Lord.
We all want to be valiant. If that is so then we should understand that it is with and through God that we can be valiant. It is God who will tread down our enemies and bring us victory, not ourselves. Before the big exam or test pray for God's help. Before popping the big question to that certain someone, or the boss, pray for God's help. Make it a habit of thinking and seeking God first before you do anything. Always remember that it will always be "God willing" for your answer. You do not have to stand alone, you are never alone if you have God as your Saviour. With God's help we can do anything.
